Top tips for renting a car from Dollar in San José

  • A compact car is one of the most popular vehicle types offered by Dollar car rentals in San José, Costa Rica. The vehicle’s small size is suitable for the relatively narrow streets in downtown San José. Further, the city’s roads may have some on-street parking, making driving a small motor vehicle a good idea. Of course, renting a spacious vehicle for traveling with kids or friends would make sense. We recommend renting a full-size sedan which can seat five people and allows sufficient room for three large suitcases. If you prefer cruising in style, explore rentals in the mini category.
  • Those who reserve cars with Dollar car rentals in San José can enjoy benefits through the Dollar Express Rewards. This customer loyalty program aims to thank customers who reserve cars with Dollar frequently. It awards them a point for every dollar they spend on Dollar rental cars. You need more than 500 points to start reaping the benefits of your relationship with Dollar. With over 500 points, you can get free rental days.
  • Your reservation with Dollar car rentals in San José can be changed or canceled according to your travel plans. You can avoid paying a high cancelation fine by contacting Dollar about your plans change at least one day before your pickup time. Remember, Dollar encourages clients to cancel reservations via the company’s website. Don’t stress if you aren’t able to make a cancelation early enough. Canceling within 24 hours of pickup also guarantees a full refund, but you will be assessed a fee of approximately $100. If you don't show up to collect the reserved vehicle, Dollar may charge you a fine equal to your prepayment
  • Dollar strives to ensure that all its customers enjoy a world-class service every time they book a rental for their trip. Thus, the company’s agents offer a helping hand at all steps of the rental journey. Even when canceling your reservation, a well-versed agent will give you the steps to revoke your booking.
