La atención en la oficina de recogida fue desastrosa, incluyendo costos que ya habiamos pagado previamente en la reserva.

Great service. The only thing I will mention, they gave us a 7 seater car with a small engine! Being inn Costa Rica where you are surrounded by mountains, going up hills was an effort. They tried to upsell another car to us.

Waited over an hour to collect the car, so they need more staff to deal with this. The drop off was very efficient though and staff member very efficient. We got a better car than booked, so that was nice.

Couldn't have had a better experience with Alamo in our trip to Costa Rica. We had the car for the whole month of October, 2021. It all went flawlessly! We extended the initial reservation for extra 10 days and Alamo provided us with very reasonable and easy options to do so. Definitely recommend them!

On arrival the staff was very helpful in providing all the information required, from upgrades to legal information. There was no hidden surprises and when dropping off the car the staff made sure it was an easy process, which took minutes and made sure we were taken back to the airport with transportation provided. Excellent service!

Wendy who was the staff member was excellent. She took me through the whole process of picking up the car and was very clear, her English was superb! She was kind enough to help me with directions through the Waze satnav app, which she set and explained. The experience on our return was just as good and prompt. I can thoroughly recommend Jumbo hire.

Avis did not accept third party insurance in Costa Rica. The cost of their required insurance was not advertised anywhere, and doubled the cost of the rental car. Other agencies cost far less for their required insurance.

Danilo Jimenez REQUIRED me to buy the "minimum" AVIS additional insurance $275.90 for 9 days despite PROOF of FULL COVERAGE on the Easy Rent Cars voucher with Avis's name and reservation on it. When I resisted- Danilo Jimenez CANCELLED my booking and then announced where were no more cars for rent. Extortion pure.

Had to get extra insurance when we got there even if I paid for full cover on the website already , not happy about that

When we arrived at payless San Jose Costa Rica we hade to pay for another insurance even if we already took one at the booking. The reprensentant at Payless said that this insurance did not worth nothing. So for 3 week rental it cost us around 2700$ Can. We consider that it was a robbery. It starts the vacations very bad.

The van was perfect for the group of 10 to get us from the airport to the hotel and around the town of San Jose and the surrounding areas. The staff at Payless was very helpful and customer service was excellent.

No fue lo esperado ni lo que me prometieron ya que cuando llegue a la gracia de budget me obligaron a pagar un seguro que fue mucho más caro que la renta

The counter staff was very slow on pick up. Really frustrating when we wanted to get on the road. It took about an hour.

I gave them 40 USD for gas, yet they still charged 76 USD to my credit card. This is fraud and cheating the customer! I strongly advise against renting from GREEN MOTION due to their undisclosed fees and lack of transparency. The staff is dishonest; we paid cash for gas but were charged again on our credit card, which is fraudulent.

Agent a Thrifty nous a obligé à prendre une assurance locale alors que nous avions déjà pris la meilleure assurance sur le site. Nous avons discuté avec lui presque 2 heures, il ne nous a pas laissé le choix et nous avons dû payer 265$ sup pr l assurance! Moteur de voiture très poussif, manque de nervosité et de dynamisme. Pas de climatisation à l arrière pour les enfants. A l arrière 2 ceintures de sécurité seulement, donc 2 enfants partageaient la même ceinture!!

When picking up the car, I wanted to clarify every charge to avoid unknown and unnecessary fees, and I asked the male customer service representative at the counter to speak slower as my English isn't very good. However, this arrogant gentleman clearly lacked the patience to do his job well or was experiencing a bad day, clearly showing impatience and even shouting that he had explained everything multiple times, which was very embarrassing. When we inspected the car's condition and pointed out minor scratches, he showed impatience again. As someone who's rented cars before, I understood that he could have just told me these minor issues didn't matter. Overall, this gentleman left a bad impression of the car rental company and the start of our trip, making us feel even discriminated against. This must be pointed out and deserves a poor rating.
