We try to get you the lowest rates, no matter when you book. However, booking your car ahead of time can help you save even more. Be sure to check the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.

Avis's minimum age to rent a car in Guanacaste is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an added fee if you are under 25. Take time to review Avis's policy to find out what the total cost is before you book.
That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Guanacaste. Compact or economy cars are good for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a mid-size or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride on longer trips. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Guanacaste getaway can choose the premium category to get a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.
In Costa Rica you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Many of the major credit card issuers (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) typically offer coverage. However, many of them have limitations, such as not covering larger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. It is best to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Guanacaste. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
Avis does require a deposit when you book your rental car. Avis will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your vehicle for your trip. Please be aware that the deposit may vary greatly based on the make and model of the vehicle.
We recommend a full to full policy. You pick up your Avis rental with full tank, and you should bring it back it filled up. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Avis.
Guanacaste certainly has its charms, but you may want to hit the road after you've checked off all the activities in Guanacaste.
