  • NU Car Rentals, U-Save and Europcar are among the top-rated providers in the city. They're a smart place to start comparing offers.

  • The coverage NU Car Rentals or another supplier includes with your Liberia car hire can differ, so always go over the fine print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge extra for it.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to pick up a bargain if the provider needs to move cars between branches. Discover the best available rates by selecting 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Avoid any unexpected charges by choosing a ride with a 'Fair fuel policy.' Start your journey with a full tank and return it the same, and pay only for what you use.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers what you'd otherwise have to pay if your Liberia car hire is stolen or damaged. While not mandatory, it can be a real lifesaver if something goes wrong. Just remember that not all insurance policies are equal, so make sure you understand exactly what's offered.

  • From navigation systems to mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, the right extras can make all the difference. Consider which features will help you make the most of your trip when you rent a car in Liberia.

Good to know

  • If you're going away with the kids, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Liberia car hire booking. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: a valid driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds for the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in Costa Rica can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Be aware that traffic travels on the right side of the road.

  • Keep within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 95kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Costa Rica. The only guaranteed way to stay safe to drive is to avoid alcohol completely.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid busy hours generally for a smoother drive.

  • Or make use of the accessible parking at Hotel Villa Hermosa. The city centre is roughly 2 kilometres from this stay, which also features air conditioning and a cafe.
