No prepayment Β· All-Tico partners Β· EN / FR / PL support

Car rental in Costa Rica β€” with someone you can call if anything goes wrong.

I connect you with a trusted local Costa Rican car rental company β€” no prepayment, no hidden fees. And if anything comes up during your trip, you call me. Not a call center. Me.

What makes this different

πŸš«πŸ’³

No prepayment

You pay when you pick up the car β€” directly to the owner. No money at risk if your plans change or your flight is delayed.

Tico partner β€” not a multinational

I work exclusively with a local Costa Rican company. Your rental money stays in the country, with the people who live here.

You call Kevin, not a hotline

If your battery dies, if you get a flat, if you're unsure about a road β€” you call me. I speak English, French, and Polish, and I know the local mechanics, the roads, and the car rental company personally.

Faster problem resolution

When something goes wrong, having a local contact who knows the company and speaks Spanish cuts resolution time dramatically. I've seen issues solved in 30 minutes that would have taken hours without a contact.

Cooler included

I lend you a cooler for the duration of your trip. Small thing, big difference when you're driving between regions in the Costa Rican heat.

Driving guide for Costa Rica

You get my personal PDF guide to driving in Costa Rica β€” what to watch out for, road conditions by region, where to fuel up, police checkpoints, and how to handle the paperwork.

Do you actually need a car?

Honest advice β€” I only recommend a car when it genuinely makes sense for your trip.

You probably need a car if...
  • βœ“You're going to the Osa Peninsula or southern zone
  • βœ“You want to explore rural areas off the main routes
  • βœ“You have a family or group of 3+
  • βœ“You're visiting multiple regions at your own pace
  • βœ“You want to stay in remote lodges without shuttle access
You might not need one if...
  • β€”You're doing a shuttle-friendly route (Arenal β†’ Manuel Antonio β†’ Pacific)
  • β€”You're traveling solo on a tight budget
  • β€”You're only visiting 2 regions with good bus links
  • β€”You're not comfortable on rough roads

Not sure? Book a free 20-minute call and I'll tell you honestly what makes sense for your specific trip.
