How old do you have to be to rent a car in San José?
Drivers 21 and above can hit the road in San José in a rental car. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll generally have fewer car categories to pick from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to take out comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in San José?
Most rental companies will need 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 will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in San José?
Whether you're staying in San José or heading off on a road trip through Argentina, you'll be driving on the right. While this is obviously the same as the States, you will notice differences in road rules.

You can rent a vehicle for a month or even longer in San José, so go ahead and extend your holiday! Just enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and find your ideal ride.
Where can I find a San José car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some San José companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
