  • The coverage NU Car Rentals or another company offers for your Liberia car hire can differ, so be sure to read the fine print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will provide it for an extra charge.

  • Booking a one-way car hire is often a great hack for cheaper deals. Check 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often need to move vehicles from one site to another, which means you can snag some great one-way prices on a car for rent in Liberia.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.

  • Small: These cheap rental cars in Liberia may be small in size, but they're big where it counts. Including mini and economy vehicles, they're easy to manoeuvre, light on fuel, and a match made in heaven for short trips.

  • Medium: Not too small, not too big, this is the kind of rental even Goldilocks wouldn't second-guess. Typically including compact and intermediate cars, they strike a balance of fuel efficiency and interior space and are great for small families and couples.

  • Large: Long drives are effortless in this Liberia car hire category. Also known as full-size, they have the engine size to match the journey. The extra legroom and comfort make them a great option for families and groups of friends.

  • SUV: When wanderlust strikes, an SUV goes wherever you do. It's your ultimate road trip companion, ready for country roads, highways, and everything in between. These sports utility vehicles also offer extra space and advanced safety features.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Adding excess insurance to your Liberia car hire can take the stress out of driving. It protects you from paying a big excess fee in case of theft or a collision. Insurance policies can vary from one provider to another, so check how each one stacks up.

  • Level up your ride with nifty extras like a navigation system or mobile Wi-Fi. These add-ons can make your journey easier and more relaxed when you rent a car in Liberia.

Good to know

  • Rental age requirements generally aren't a one-size-fits-all. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could encounter extra costs or restrictions. Check the terms set by each supplier before booking your rental in Costa Rica.

  • If the kids are coming with you, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Liberia car hire booking. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • Bring the right documents and save time at pick-up. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (not a screenshot or digital version) plus another photo ID. Also bring along a credit card with room for the security hold. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

  • Driving in Costa Rica can seem unfamiliar if it's your first time. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.

  • Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 95kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Costa Rica is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.

  • Aim to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
