Awesome service at the desk and very quick pick up, they even said yes when I asked to pick up the car 2 hours earlier that scheduled. Drop off was equally fast. Best of all, other rent-a-cars were asking for a 3-day minimum rent, because it was Holy Week. Hertz didn't had any issue in me renting the car for just 1 day.Reviewed 2024 Mar 28

Top tips for renting a car from Hertz in San José

  • When travelers book Hertz car rentals in San José, they should consider which type of vehicle would be appropriate for their trip. A compact or midsize car is suitable for small families or groups of up to five people. If you plan to explore Costa Rica's diverse terrain, including mountains and unpaved roads, an SUV with 4WD or all-wheel drive is a smart choice. Costa Rica's pleasant climate, especially in the dry season, makes it a great destination for a convertible because the freedom of a convertible can enhance your experience as you explore the scenic landscapes.
  • Something that many people think about when choosing to book Hertz car rentals in San José is how much they enjoy the Hertz loyalty program, known as Hertz Gold Plus Rewards. Gold Plus Rewards members can enjoy expedited service at the rental counter, reducing wait times and making the rental process more convenient. Members earn points with each qualifying rental, which can be redeemed for free rental days.
  • When you make the choice to book Hertz car rentals in San José, check to make sure your air conditioner works well before leaving the rental lot. Costa Rica has a tropical climate with high temperatures and humidity levels throughout the year. These high temperatures and humidity can make the environment uncomfortable without air conditioning. Traveling with passengers, especially in a tropical climate, is more enjoyable in a comfortable and cool environment.
  • Generally, when you book a car rental with Hertz in San Jose, you are allowed to drive their rental cars from San Jose to other countries. Check the terms and conditions of your rental agreement with Hertz. Verify that your rental car insurance coverage extends to the specific country you plan to visit.
