Renting A Car In Costa Rica: Should You Do It?

We need a vehicle that fits 6. I cannot find the article that states which Costa Rican car rental company you recommend. We are flying into Liberia international but want to do a couple days near Arsenal/ Monteverde but are staying the majority of the time on guanacaste coast is it a difficult drive from this airport to arenal? Do you recommend any specific tour company from Arsenal to monteverde? I will not drive to Monteverde. We did this years Ago and will it do it again.

I have been renting cars from Costa Rica for over 30 years. I recently rented a car from Economy rental car company in Liberia airport. I recommend that nobody rent a car from economy rent a car. They found two dents that were probably there for several years. The car was several years old and they charge my credit card $900 for 2 dents no bigger than maybe my pinky. I did check the car thoroughly before I rented it but these tents would’ve never been found. The person who checked the car out new Exactly where to find these dents. What a scam. Do not rent any cars from economy rental car. Thank you Steven Salzberg MD

We are going to rent 3 cars for our8-31 January trip. I am looking at Next Car rental. I have a call into them regarding mandatory insurance. We have auto insurance traveling abroad, but I’m assuming the key word is “mandatory.” Do you know anything about Next. I tried to find your article where you list your preferred car rental agencies, bit. Can’t seem to find it.

Nikki, it seems your rental car section of your blog is no longer there. We read the scams part, but now we need an actual recommendation of an actual company that is not going to rip is off. We arrive Oct 4th and will be staying till the 15th, driving around the country.
