Question 9

Where can I find a Matapalo car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the car rental companies that are in Matapalo. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.

Question 10

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Matapalo?

Accepted Answer

A comprehensive insurance policy is a great idea for your Matapalo trip. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.

Question 11

Can I drive in Matapalo with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries 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 cars you can rent.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
