Question 2

What kind of rental car should I get for San Isidro?

Accepted Answer

Every good car should be reliable, comfortable, and functional. So, we'd recommend choosing a full-size car or an SUV if you intend to use San Isidro as a starting point to road trip around San Jose. These bigger vehicles have more legroom and a powerful engine to take you around the highways in safety and comfort.

These nifty rides are incredible when it comes to cruising around those busy streets!

Question 3

Should I get a luxury rental car in San Isidro?

Accepted Answer

You'll be glad to hear that there's an impressive variety of both economy and high-end rentals in San Isidro. What you go with depends on how much you're willing to spend and what you plan to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles offer the best in mod cons and comfort. If you want to indulge yourself, why not go for an elite SUV, or perhaps a cushy mid-sized sedan? Alternatively, if you're just after a car to get you from A to B at the cheapest price possible, you're better off going with an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your wallet).
