San José Juan Santamaria Intl Airport car rental information

If you intend to rent a car once you land at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), you'll be able to do precisely that because SJO has several cheap car rentals that can give you best car rental deals. The car rental center in this airport is located inside the airport's terminal, right after customs. Given that it is housed in the airport's main terminal, you won't need any form of ground transportation to get to this car rental center. However, you'll board a shuttle to pick up your cheap rental car, as the pick-up spot for most car rentals in SJO is a couple of miles away from the terminal.

If you're thinking of renting a car at SJO, you must have some documents. As a foreigner, you'll need a driver's license. Your license must have your photograph and be valid six months after returning the rental car. It must also have been in use for over one year. Apart from your driver's license, you'll also need your original passport, a valid Visa stamp, an International Driver's Permit and a credit card. The credit card you provide the car rental place in SJO you want to rent from must have sufficient funds to cater to the hold that will be placed by your preferred car rental. No car rental at SJO accepts photocopies. Hence, you must keep your original documents intact throughout your trip. It's worth noting that car rentals usually have different minimum age requirements. At Alamo, you can rent a car so long as you're above 21 years, while at Budget and Hertz, you must be above 25 years to rent a car.

Many people usually think returning a car rental is a complicated process. However, this is quite far from the truth. To return your rental car of choice, all you need to do is drive the car back to the garage where you picked it up within the hours of operation, as contactless drop-offs are frowned upon in the country. Once you park the car, remove all your personal belongings, lock the car, and drop the key at the counter of the agency you rented a car from. Prior to returning the car, you should check for dents, scratches, tire pressure, and scuffs. If you notice any deformities, you should note them down and when handing over the car, inform the car rental. If you purchased an insurance cover while renting the car, you won't incur the repair costs. However, if you didn't take out comprehensive insurance, you'll cater to the repairs by yourself. When returning your rental car, you should check its fuel level, which should be similar to when you picked it up.

Normally open from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Juan Santamaría International Airport’s rental car center is in the airport’s terminal. Thus, at this center, you'll have access to all the amenities at the main airport building. These include strong Wi-Fi, an accessible wheelchair, comfortable seats, and airport personnel and agency personnel. At the airport car rental center, you'll also enjoy access to telephones, luggage carriers, and a VIP lounge. Given that it has stores and restaurants, at this airport, you can also shop and fill your tummy.

Horrible! Do not rent from here. I rented a large suv for my family and my elderly parents to ride comfortable 2 months in advance. I checked in on the car and reservation 2 days before travel. The day of immigration was long and flight delay occurred. I called the rental place and told them i would be coming in at 2pm. They said ok. I showed up and no car. They gave it away. Than 4 other families come to get their car and no cars either. You can't be more than 5 minutes late for your reservation or they give it away. I called ahead and made sure it was ok and my reservation was still given away. No cars were available in the airport. Worst experience being stuck in a country with 2 kids and 2 elderly parents and no car and all car rentals didn't have any either. I had to wait 3 hrs after many phone calls and help from my wheel chair person to get a car. Save yourself a headache and rent from another company.

They closed their office early and I was left without a car for my arrival. The car engine was not properly tuned with very little power.

Although it was relatively inexpensive they did not disclose the mandatory 3rd party insurance requirement you had to pay - I even had the letter from my credit card company saying they covered the collision insurance ( I had that after reading the fine print that letter was needed- full price of the rental should be disclosed at the time of reservation

Have travelled often but never experienced such a scam. We were told they had no cars when we arrived and there were none available anywhere. After an hour of pleading they somehow got us a car as it was a huge favor and it ended up being the same Toyota Landcruiser Prado which I had reserved 2 months earlier but at twice the cost. Have never been taken advantage of like this.

We had requested a 4x4 because we were going to drive through the mountains and in dirt roads in Costa Rica. They gave us a car that needed the wheels to be balanced, and when it rained the car would slide through the mud. It was unsafe, and we couldn’t return the car sooner because we were far away. When we went to return the car the staff explained to us that because it was high season that was the only car they had left. Instead of renting us the car, they should’ve been honest so we could find a car to rent elsewhere.

The pick up process should have a separate queue for people with a reservation. I had to wait 1.5 hours as 3 people in front of me didn’t have reservations. Drop off however was fast and efficient.

We had to wait for three shuttles SJO>Avis and then had to wait an hour in line to get the car. Once there the insurance we purchased FROM YOu was told to be invalid thereby forcing us to buy their insurance for $24.99/day inflating our $19/day rental to $45. This is bait and switch in my book and we paid $11/day insurance from you as a total waste.

Mediocre|May 2022

Do not rent from Avis in Costa Rica. They were not responsible or reliable when my rental car broke down. My family was stranded for 5 hours on the side of the road, and even after getting towed Avis continued to be negligent. Worst rental car experience of my life.

Mediocre|May 2022

Upon arrival with a prepaid rental agreement through a third part I was told a car was not available for me. After being made to wait for an hour, a car was found. However, in the stress and confusion of the situation, I did not realize that Avis had charged me $3000 on top of the already prepared full amount of $1000. The matter is still not resolved three weeks later. Contacting Avis has been impossible. Avoid at all costs. This company ruined my trip.

Excellent|Apr 2022

Excellent service in every respect. The price seemed high, but that was the best I could get at the time. My suggestion to anyone traveling extensively off the main highways is to get an SUV or other vehicle made for off-road driving.

I canceled my rental car. The people, QEEQ.com, returned my money immediately. I bought the zero deductible insurance from the same web page and the money wasn't returned for the rental. I phoned Alliance and they said that they were putting in a request for the return of my money but I haven't received it as yet.

Not because Europcar people in San Jose, they been good, and the car was O.K., but we had to buy a new coverage Insurance, because the one you offered on the web page at the time of this reservation was not valid in San Jose!!! How you can offer it??? if not a valid coverage?! Please proceed to refund us for the Allianz Insurance purchased, we try contact them with no e-mails going through, please indicate the steps to be taken for recovering our money?! Thank you, Cosmin

This rental agency is a complete fraud! Upon arrival, they wanted to charge twice the amount the booking had stated. We ended up taking the bus instead. Quite frankly, the manager of this establishment should be investigated for fraud and theft. My advice: stay away.

I prepaid $700 for my rental car on line understanding that I would have a pay for insurance. Estimates from my guidebook indicated that it would be $10-$30 per day for a 9 day trip. When I arrived I was charged $825 or $90 per day for insurance alone. I had prepaid so I couldn’t change car companies and felt cheated. I was told I should have read the fine print. If that is the policy, it should be made very clear the the cost of insurance will exceed the cost of the rental.

Okay|Mar 2022

Wouldn’t accept my credit card insurance coverage without a written letter—which is not a legal requirement but something they do so they can sell you their insurance. It was labeled as “on site” at airport. It was not. The car was pretty beat to hell.
