What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Jose?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a good choice for your San Jose escape. That's why we recommend choosing collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in San Jose with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Philippines, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note 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 documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older 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 the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
