Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum age to rent a car at Palmar Sur?
Most car rental companies in Costa Rica require drivers to be at least 18 years old, though some premium vehicles may require a minimum age of 21 or 25. A valid driver's license and passport are required.
Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to rent a car in Costa Rica?
While an IDP is not always required, it's recommended. Your valid driver's license from your home country is typically accepted, but carrying an IDP provides additional legal protection.
Is car rental insurance included in my booking?
Basic insurance is often included, but coverage varies by provider. We recommend reviewing all insurance options during booking, including collision damage waiver (CDW) and theft protection for peace of mind.
What vehicles are best for driving in the Osa Peninsula?
A 4x4 SUV or truck is ideal for the Osa Peninsula's unpaved roads, especially during rainy season. However, economy cars are suitable for main highways between Palmar Sur and towns like Puerto Jimenez.
Can I pick up a rental car at PMZ and drop it off elsewhere in Costa Rica?
Many of our partner companies offer one-way rentals to other cities like San Jose or Manuel Antonio. One-way fees apply, so check availability and pricing when booking your reservation.
