  • The coverage offered for your Villarreal car hire can differ between suppliers, so be sure to read the fine print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge extra for it.

  • Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to pick up a bargain if the provider needs to shift cars between sites. Discover the best available rates by clicking 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. No surprise refueling fees tacked on at the end either.

  • Medium: Not too small, not too big, this is the rental that's juuuust right! Typically including compact and intermediate cars, they offer a mix of interior space and fuel efficiency and are suited to couples and small families.

  • Large: You've got the kids, the luggage, the snacks, the lot. Large vehicles have got the capacity to carry it all without breaking a sweat. Ideal for longer drives, this Villarreal car hire category includes full-size cars.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't mandatory, but it's worth considering. If you're in a collision, no matter how minor, it can save you from paying an expensive excess fee. Different Villarreal car hire providers have different insurance policies and coverage levels, so check the details before booking.

  • Make your trip smoother when you rent a car in Villarreal by adding a few handy extras. Think things like a GPS unit to be your trusty co-pilot, or reverse cameras that'll help you park like a pro.

Good to know

  • Age requirements often vary by company and even car type, so be clear on the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Costa Rica may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to browse your options.

  • If you're travelling with kids, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Villarreal car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • You'll need to hand over a few things when collecting your rental car: an official driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card that can cover the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.

  • Driving in Costa Rica might take some adjustment for first-time visitors. Keep in mind you'll need to stick to the right side of the road.

  • Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 95kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Costa Rica is 0.05%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink anything at all.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.
