Car rental should be easy as one two three nowadays. There is a significant and steady uprise in the car rental services all over the world, thus the offers and options are fine tuned for everybody who might need car rental services in the next city they are to visit.
The Best Way to Book Car Rental services
If car rental is part of the logistics that you should complete before travelling, booking online may sound the best option of all. Booking online is especially good if you manage to find some nice deal online, plus you will not have to worry if all car rental points in the country you visit are operational or not. This may also save you some time and money on arrival.
Learn some Spanish
Last but not least, do not expect that everybody will know English in Costa Rica. People may speak well enough in the cities, but once you hit more rural parts, it is good that you know some basic Spanish phrases. It will be especially useful if you know the right words for directions on the road. Therefore, a guide in Spanish language with you is not a bad idea.
Car rental will often charge a security deposit upfront
Make sure that you have enough money on your credit card for the whole journey. Before booking online, check if there is a security deposit payment. In Costa Rica, most probably you will be charged upfront for such security deposit payment.
To avoid any inconveniences, it is probably a good idea that you do make some photos of the car before you start driving it. This way you will have evidence of any scratches, bruises or else on your car. Upon return of the car, if the service wants to charge you for something which you did not do, you will be at ease, as you will already have a proof that it was not your fault.
