Top tips for renting a car from Alamo in San José

  • San José, which is the capital of Costa Rica, isn’t just the largest city in the country. With more than 350,000 residents, it’s also the most populated city in Costa Rica. In fact, its population makes up about one-third of the entire country’s population. For this reason, you should book Alamo car rentals in San José when you're visiting. You'll be able to get around in the city easier when you have a rental car. You won't have to rely on ride-sharing services or the crowded public transportation system.
  • When you book Alamo car rentals in San José, you'll have the option to select the type of vehicle you want.

  • Those visiting San José for the first time might not be familiar with the streets in the city. It can make it challenging to get around at times.

This GPS will keep you on the right track while you’re driving around in Costa Rica and allow you to keep your eyes on the busy roads at all times.
