What do you need to rent a car in Puntarenas?

Proof of coverage may also be needed if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules often differ between rental suppliers, so it's wise to check in advance.

With rates starting as low as $1 and $15 per day in Puntarenas within the past seven days, you'll be zooming off with your own incredible deal in next to no time.

Where can I find a Puntarenas car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a car in Puntarenas, we recommend reading the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Puntarenas?
A thorough insurance policy is a wise choice for your upcoming Puntarenas getaway. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from 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.
Can I drive in Puntarenas with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation 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 at least 25 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
