All-inclusive rental cars in San Jose
Compare rental cars in San Jose (Costa Rica) from 5 different car rental brokers. Cheap, all-inclusive & no hidden costs!
Our car rental brokers Cars For Less, RentalCars, Atlas Choice, Affordable Car Hire and Economy Bookings negotiate the best deals with all international and local car rental companies in San Jose. Every broker has his own search form to check available rental cars.
Renting a car via our brokers is cheap and without unpleasant surprises: unlimited mileage, local taxes, airport delivery and almost all insurances are included in the quoted price. Compare their rental conditions.
The only extra insurance you may want is a No Risk Warranty to cover excess plus damage to tires, windows, roof and undercarriage. All brokers offer this insurance for a fair price: much cheaper than at the pick-up desk of the car rental company!
Excess insurance is mandatory because your own risk may already be covered by your travel insurance (including some credit card travel insurances).

Green Motion claimed the car was damaged. That claim was wrong. The way Green Motion solved this is rated:
Comment: Unfortunately my experience with the GrennMotion company was terrible. I am sure that I was misled by a misleading advertisement, which promised a reduced rate, which was sure to attract me. However, this company deceived me to receive more money than the contractor. The tactic of compensating the low rate is to have a compensation, through charging an absurd amount, for possible damage to the vehicle, which I certainly did not commit. The tactic is to make a quick review of the conditions of the vehicle at the time of delivery, and certainly we customers, we tend to accept the review. In the delivery of the vehicle, they present an imperceptible damage, and say that it was not marked in the revision of the delivery. The coup is completed with the absurd price that is charged. They charged me $ 273,46 for a small scratch in a back light shield ( i have a photograph), telling them it was broken. In the city that I live I have budgeted this piece for 12% of this value. And I'm sure it will not be changed. Probably the next stupid customer will be charged for the same item. I confess that it made me want to break it, so they really had to make the exchange, but I was able to calm down and not get to this end.

Comment: I understand that this company should be investigated, so that this astuteness can not be repeated.
(According to the information provided by the customer, CarTrawler has not been contacted after the reservation was made and was not given a chance to solve problems when they occurred.)
