How old do you have to be to rent a car in San José?

Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require comprehensive insurance. It's always a good idea to check the fine print before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in San José?
Generally, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. You may also need proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between rental outlets, so remember to check before booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in San José?

Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San José?
You should have collision protection to cover your San José car rental against theft, accident damage and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can purchase this insurance for your vehicle at the time of booking. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24/7 emergency support and no deductible should you need to make a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a complete refund.
Can I drive in San José with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Peru, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
