Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Playa Grande?
Purchase collision damage protection while reserving your Playa Grande car rental with Expedia. This protects your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism throughout your road trip.

Can I drive in Playa Grande with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you 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 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 the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
