I am planning a trip to Costa Rica for a stay of several weeks. In the USA I have always used a debit card for car rentals. Are there rental agencies in Costa Rica that will accept a debit card?
Unfortunately, most rental car companies in Costa Rica require a credit card. But there is at least that doesn’t, Economy. They have locations throughout the country. When you use a debit card they put a hold of $500 – $950 on your card, depending on how much insurance you take and the length of the rental.
