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. If you're worried about driving on the congested streets in San José, you can request a compact car that will be easy to maneuver. If you'll be traveling with a group, you can ask for a big SUV that will fit everyone comfortably. Alamo also offers other options like pickup trucks, too.
  • 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. Because of this, you should think about asking Alamo to install a GPS navigation system in a rental car before you drive it off their lot. 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.
  • While you might not know if you'll definitely need a rental car while you're in town, know that having one in San José will benefit you in so many ways. It is worth reserving one in advance. When you reserve a rental car through Alamo without putting a credit card on file, you have the option to cancel it later without paying a cancellation fee. Just make sure you call Alamo as soon as you know you won’t need a rental car to steer clear of any unnecessary fees.
  • Book your rental car from Alamo in San José at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price.
  • Mini rental cars from Alamo in San José are around 70% cheaper than other car types, on average.

FAQs about renting a car from Alamo in San José
