Minivan rental in Puntarenas

Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Puntarenas are: Peugeot 807 7 seater, VW Kombi 8 Seater, Chevrolet Suburban 8 Seater, Chrysler Voyager, Dodge Caravan, GMC Envoy 7 passenger and others.

Standard capacity of a minivan in Costa Rica is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.

Please note, that in order to rent in Costa Rica a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.

Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Puntarenas.

Before leaving the parking garage in Puntarenas, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Previous hints
The maximum permitted speed on local roads is 80 km/h. Drivers should be very attentive and don’t speed up carelessly, following the established speed limit on the road. The so-called “speed bumps” are not widespread on the road, but the police enjoy making “ambushes” on popular roads and catching traffic violators quickly.
In case of a traffic violation, a police officer will give you a bill that can be paid at any bank. Foreign drivers should never argue with the police and do not even try to offer a bribe - in this case a mere fine may be followed by an even more severe punishment.
Travelers, who plan to go to remote areas of the country and visit beautiful local nature reserves, are recommended to choose a powerful car for that travel. The roads that are laid in beautiful areas rarely have the asphalt surface. As a rule, these are very narrow and winding dirt roads.
