What do I need to do when picking up a car? To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient. What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental? In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car. What is a worry-free label? Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection.

In general, you always need a credit card to rent a car from EasyTerra.

You pay a deposit when you pick up the car. You need a credit card in the name of the main driver to pay this deposit. The rental company will then put a temporary hold on your credit card for the amount of the deposit so they can recover the costs of any damage or other extra costs.

When you return the rental car, it will be checked for damage or other defects. If no damage is found, the amount of the temporary hold on your credit card will be released. You can read more about the deposit on this page: Car rental deposit

Location information for San Jose Airport

San José Airport in a nutshell

The airport of the capital of Costa Rica is located 17 kilometres to the north-west of San José, near the town of Alajuela. Officially, the airport is called Juan Santamaría, after a soldier who was killed in the war against the Americans in 1856. The airport has recently been privatised. The new owner has begun expanding and renovating the airport.

There is not train connection to the airport, but it is easy to reach by car and bus.

There are no hotels at the airport, but between the airport and San José there are a number of hotels. There are a limited number of shops, primarily souvenir shops. There are three fast-food restaurants, whose prices are pretty high. There are no business facilities, but there will be a business lounge after the renovation has been completed. In addition, the airport has three ATM's and an exchange office, which only exchanges small amounts at an unfavourable rate. The terminal building is reasonably accessible to disabled people.

In the aviation industry San Jose Airport is indicated with the abbreviations SJO (IATA airport code) and MROC (ICAO airport code).
