Can I drive in San Pedro with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may 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 on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
