What we can offer:
By contacting Bookingauto.com, customers can be sure that there is the right type of car waiting for them. For example, if one person or a small group of guests arrives in Puntarenas, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible Mercedes C cabrio from €175 per day. This presentable and comfortable car is offered for rent by sixt. When it comes to a family or a large company, the best choice may be a Minivan Peugeot Traveller at a rate of €58 per day. Your trip will be pleasant and safe in this roomy car. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, budget is ready to offer a Business-class model - Nissan Maxima. A budget transport option for a journey would be a Seat Ibiza car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €12 per day.
How to minimize costs:
In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.

During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.

Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a Nissan Maxima costs about €79 per day.
The excitement noticeably subsides in autumn and rental companies begin to reduce their rates. For example, you can rent a BMW X3 very cheaply in the autumn for just €32 per day.
