Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in San Rafael?
Within the past seven days in San Rafael, you could have motored away in a rental for as low as $2 per day.
What happens if I need to cancel my San Rafael car reservation?
Canceling a reservation with six hours notice should allow for a full refund. However, this is not always the case. It's a good idea to check your booking details and rental agreement. Still need help? Jump onto our Customer Service Portal.
Where can I go on a road trip from San Rafael?
San Rafael is full of fun adventures, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Grab a set of wheels and head off to discover what else awaits in the wider area. Here are a few ideas:

  • Head to Liberia for an excellent sightseeing experience. Around 100 miles from San Rafael, it has many cool sights, including Liberia Parque Central.
  • Located 50 miles away, Puntarenas is also popular with wanderers. Be sure to take in Puntarenas Pier while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this buzzing city.
  • Venture into the outdoors and take in the serenity at Playa Coco. You'll find it roughly 130 miles from San Rafael.

How do I find the best car rental deals in San Rafael with Expedia?
Expedia makes it quick and easy to compare costs, offers and rental companies, and to check customer ratings. Combine your San Rafael car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you'll make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Rafael?
San Rafael requires drivers to be 21 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Many companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in San Rafael?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's license and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your chosen rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Rafael?
The two lowest daily prices offered in San Rafael within the past seven days were $2 and $5. How's that for a great deal? These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Rafael?
Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then choose a ride that suits. Whether you're basing yourself in San Rafael or plan to journey beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an incredible rate.
Where can I find a San Rafael car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a little homework. Found a San Rafael outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific news! Just take note that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Rafael?
It's a wise idea to have collision protection to safeguard your San Rafael rental car against theft, vandalism and accident damage. And with Expedia, it's easy to purchase this insurance for your vehicle at the time of booking. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers round-the-clock emergency assistance and a zero-dollar deductible in the event of a claim. Plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll receive a full refund.
Can I drive in San Rafael with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
