Can I drive in San Clemente with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, 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, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals 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 vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
