Pros:

Drop off easy and fast, the staff was great.

Cons:

We take a Toyota hatchback, overall was great regarding the fuel economy, the cleaning inside and out, but the seats are so hard that for 3 days of driving we have to use a pillow.

Pros:

Absolutely no pressure for upgrading or anything else when I checked in. Very friendly staff & couldn't have asked more.

Cons:

There seemed to be a miscalculation with the airport tax. I'd recommend really looking at the paperwork before you pay. For me, it was a little over $10 difference, but for others with a more expensive rental, may be much more. GOOD thing is that they were more interested in figuring it out than with arguing with me. Did not get to the bottom of it, but they did offer me a discount for a second driver that made it about even.

Pros:

The staff was friendly and helpful. The car had an unbalanced wheel, causing shudder, but at an Alamo office the car was replaced in less than 30 minutes and the journey continued without technical problems.

Cons:

The light of the back compartment was constantly on due to the faulty door switch, resulting to a dead battery during a one week long parking.

Pros:

10/10 would reccomend the Alamo in Belen near the San Jose Airport. Customer service was amazing, staff was super friendly and helpful, and facilities and cars are clean and well-maintained. We upgraded for a small extra amount per day and were so thrilled with our vehicle (Toyota Fortuner). Upon returning our car to Alamo at the end of our trip, we had no wait at all before our car was checked out, receipt confirmed, and our friendly driver dropped us off at the airport. Will absolutely be return customers for our next trip.

Cons:

Everything was super!

Luis in Tamarindo was great! I rented I San Jose and told them I needed to drop it in Tamarindo and then get back to town where I was staying. San Jose didn't let me know that there was a location in town and instead had me driving 1.4hrs to the airport. Luis worked things out and didn't even charge me an extra drop off fee since i only used ¼ tank of gas. Aldo San Jose said I would need a full tank of gas and charged me for that. All worked in the end , thanks to Luis.

Pros:

The entire process was excellent. I've forgotten his name, but the Enterprise Manager at the San Jose Airport had me on the road in short order. Gabriel Vasquez, the Enterprise Manager in Belen, CR was instrumental in writing an extended contract for for our car and getting us back on the road in very short order. I'M A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER TO DATE!

Cons:

Nothing.

KAYAK

Pros:

The SUV we rented was great.

Cons:

The price we were quoted online was very deceiving. We were quoted a little over $100 online. However when we got to pick our vehicle up, even with the cheapest insurance, we paid well over $1000. The price needs to be more transparent when you book online. Once you arrive in a foreign country and need a car to get around, you really have no choice but to pay. Very disappointed that the amount quoted was so inaccurate.

Pros:

The staff was friendly and the shuttle was efficient.

Cons:

The suv I received was an old model with over 75k. The car I reserved was a “Jeep Wrangler or similar”. Certainly, I understand that the actual SUV will vary but I received was nothing even remotely comparable. A tiny, old Dahaitsu is just plain false advertising. They don’t even have any Jeeps!

KAYAK

Pros:

The service was great, staff was helpful and prompt.

Cons:

It would have been nice to know the full price I'd be paying for a rental car before landing in this foreign country fully dependent on getting it. I felt very mislead by the pricing I was given in the reservation. In Costa Rica, insurance is required and this was never mentioned in the booking process. Therefore I ended up having to pay over $400 (with an extra $800 held) for the car I expected to rent for $83. I just thought that was very dishonest by the rental car company and the booking company.

4.0 Mediocre

Jan 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

Communication skills were good for Costa Rica standard

Cons:

- Hidden Costs with overpriced insurance - Bad car (Daihatsu with 60.000km on it) - Distance from airport (30min drive in traffic) The rental costs for 6 days were 250 USD which is ok, but then they force you to get their insurance (Costa Rica law) and charge you 300 USD for 6 days insurance for a Daihatsu with 60.000km. You should get a all year insurance for that money. Very disappointing.
