Car Hire San Jose Deals - Sixt rent a car

To enjoy your travels in the busy city of San Jose, Costa Rica Sixt simplifies your car rental. Our centrally located offices provide you with both exemplary customer care service and an excellent selection of vehicles ranging from economy, sports, convertible and luxury models for your driving needs. If you prefer sturdier vehicles for your trek in Costa Rica, a car hire in SUV and 4x4 models is also available from our airport rental rental facility that affords you a fly and drive option when you arrive at Central America's busiest travel hub. Visitors can also secure a rented vehicle through our Delivery Service Office, which lets you have your rented car delivered to any location in the city free of charge. Drivers such as unlimited mileage and LWD insurance are also offered in either of or two locations. Your stay in Costa Rica is enhanced with our rental car services.

Renting a Car in Costa Rica's Capital city

Called Chepe by local residents, bustling San Jose provides visitors with many options for travelling with a car rental. Your car hire will transport you to the calmer and quieter western side of the city to spend an afternoon in the lovely Sabana Metropolitan Park, usually filled with outdoor enthusiasts and families enjoying picnics on the weekends. The park also houses the National Gymnasium, a venue for concerts and sporting events, and the La Salle Natural Science Museum on its southwest quadrant. In addition to the exhibits in zoology and archaeology, the museum features Costa Rica's sole palaeontology exhibit. Leaving the urban commotion, your road trip can take you to the nearby hills of Bello Horizonte in nearby Escazú, where you will delight in the unique and finely crafted woodworks of Biesanz Studios. For a nature adventure, the Zoo Avenue Animal Park in neighbouring Alajuela provides tourists with 14 hectares containing many species of local and exotic fauna. Breathtaking local beaches and national parks for eco-tourism provide other destinations with your rented car. Let Sixt permit you to discover the charm of the colonial and historical capital of Costa Rica.

Amazing customer service experience at Sixt Costa Rica!!! Memo, a staff member from the San Jose Airport Office, gave us an impecable client service! Memo was extremely friendly and helpful. He was very professional and explained in detail all the different renting options and what was best for our expectations. I would highly recommend!

Great team and service at this location! I just returned my rental car yesterday to Sixt, after a two week trip with family around Costa Rica. This almost wasn't possible as rental cars for the Christmas break were very difficult to find, but after reaching out to Silke, she kindly helped me secure the right car for our travels. The rest of the staff from the security guard to the maintenance members were also very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend doing business here. Thank you guys!
