San José Juan Santamaria Intl Airport car rental information

How to get from Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) to the rental car center?

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.

What documentation do I need to rent a car at Juan Santamaría International Airport?

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.

How do I drop off my rental car at Juan Santamaría International Airport?

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.

What amenities does Juan Santamaría International Airport’s rental car center offer?

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.
