How old do you have to be to rent a car in San José?
In most cases, the requirement is 21 years of age and over in San José. It's worth noting that most outlets will charge extra fees for young renters. Read the fine print before you book your ride, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Keep in mind that if you're planning to rent a luxury vehicle or a large car like an SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in San José?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in San José?
Just like the States, stick to the right in Argentina. But that doesn't mean that all road rules are the same. Research the traffic regulations before arriving in San José.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San José?
Yes, and you're sure to find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll list excellent offers from numerous quality suppliers.
Where can I find a San José car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies that are found in San José. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, be aware that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental.
