We will be arriving in Quepos on December 17, 2010 for a full month stay. Does anyone know a good/cheap car rental agency in Quepos ? We heard horror stories about renting a car in Costa Rica.

Thank you all,
Vicky

Hola Vicky,

The rental car experience here is ruff. If you use debt instead of Credit Card to secure your car there will be a sizeable 1 month deposit, ours was $950!!!! The cheapest we found was Economy Rental car. Watch drop off fees ($50), and driving here is unlike anything you've seen. No road signs, evryone drives like they're being chased or there 4 cylindercar is only running 1 cylinder, going up a mountain with no guard rail and a 2000 ft drop. Take a shuttle from the airport and then rent a car if you must. Ur better off w/ busses and cabs for day-to-day getting around. It's cheap and Quepos is pretty small and easy to get around.

Stop by Gran Escape Rest/Bar next to Best Western Kumuk in Quepos for a nice respite. Ask for Eduardo at the bar!!
