10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Turrialba

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendliness, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your travel date. By booking early, you’re likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size options offer a good compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be accessible. Renters over 70 may also face similar restrictions. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is often the most advantageous choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at an airport often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worth it for the added convenience it provides.
  • Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provide peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, look for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.
