                      Great service. The only thing I will mention, they gave us a 7 seater car with a small engine! Being inn Costa Rica where you are surrounded by mountains, going up hills was an effort. They tried to upsell another car to us.

                      Waited over an hour to collect the car, so they need more staff to deal with this. The drop off was very efficient though and staff member very efficient. We got a better car than booked, so that was nice.

                      Couldn't have had a better experience with Alamo in our trip to Costa Rica. We had the car for the whole month of October, 2021. It all went flawlessly! We extended the initial reservation for extra 10 days and Alamo provided us with very reasonable and easy options to do so. Definitely recommend them!

There was no hidden surprises and when dropping off the car the staff made sure it was an easy process, which took minutes and made sure we were taken back to the airport with transportation provided. Excellent service!

                      Wendy who was the staff member was excellent. She took me through the whole process of picking up the car and was very clear, her English was superb! She was kind enough to help me with directions through the Waze satnav app, which she set and explained. The experience on our return was just as good and prompt. I can thoroughly recommend Jumbo hire.

                      Avis did not accept third party insurance in Costa Rica. The cost of their required insurance was not advertised anywhere, and doubled the cost of the rental car. Other agencies cost far less for their required insurance.

When I resisted- Danilo Jimenez CANCELLED my booking and then announced where were no more cars for rent. Extortion pure.

The reprensentant at Payless said that this insurance did not worth nothing. So for 3 week rental it cost us around 2700$ Can. We consider that it was a robbery. It starts the vacations very bad.
