Thrifty Car Hire at San Jose International Airport in Costa Rica

San Jose is a vibrant city which grew around the coffee industry. There are still many coffee plantations which operate outside of the city and the colonial heritage is very evident within the city itself. Many of the original colonial houses have been converted into hotels, art galleries and museums. There is a dynamic nightlife in El Pueblo district which has a very Spanish influence. Enjoy a good meal and some live music to get a real feel for this inspiring city.

Thrifty are part of the Hertz group of car hire brands and the backing of a large international company may make this a popular option with some customers although Thrifty are a mid-range supplier and not one of the group's premium brands. They can offer a wide range of vehicles, from the mini sized cars, through to SUVs and family sized cars. They can be quite keen to sell their own insurance. The insurance criteria in Costa Rica is slightly different compared with other countries so do your research before you go. Understanding what you have with your car hire and what other cover you may need is key.

If you choose to hire with Thrifty at San Jose airport you will be met in the airport lobby by a representative from the company. They will escort you to the shuttle bus which will take you to where you can collect your car. On your return the shuttle bus will drop you back at the airport.

As extras Thrifty can offer car seats, MIFI or GPS units, additional drivers and luggage or surfboard racks.
