Question 1

What are the basic requirements to rent a car with Adobe Rent a Car?

Accepted Answer

To rent a car, you must be at least 23 years old, possess an original and valid driver's license issued more than two years ago, and present a valid ID or passport with an entry stamp to Costa Rica. A major credit card is also required to cover the security deposit.

Question 2

What is Adobe Rent a Car's cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

A penalty of two days of rent without insurance, or US$50 (depending on the source), applies for late cancellations made within 72 hours before the start of the service or for a 'No-Show'. A 'No-Show' is considered when a client is two hours late for pick-up without prior contact. Partial refunds may apply for early returns of the rented vehicle.

Question 3

How much is the security deposit, and what payment methods are accepted for it?

Accepted Answer

The security deposit is US$1,000. It must be made with a valid credit card (MasterCard, VISA, Discover, or American Express) in the name of the main renter. Debit cards, cash, or virtual credit cards are not accepted for the deposit. The deposit is released upon the vehicle's return, provided there are no damages or traffic violations.

Question 4

Can I pay for my rental with a debit card or cash?

Accepted Answer

While the rental cost (daily rates and insurance coverage) can be paid with either a debit or credit card, the security deposit can only be made with a credit card. Cash is not accepted for any payments. If paying the rental with a debit card and the deposit with a credit card, both cards must be from the same brand (e.g., VISA Credit and VISA Debit).

Question 5

What kind of insurance coverage does Adobe Rent a Car offer?

Accepted Answer

Liability Protection (PLI) is mandatory. Customers can decline the Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) if their credit card provides similar coverage in Costa Rica for the rented vehicle type, provided they present documentation proving this coverage. Extended Protection (SPP) is an optional comprehensive package that includes 24/7 roadside assistance, zero deductible, and extensive coverage.

Question 6

Does Adobe Rent a Car provide roadside assistance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 24/7 roadside assistance is available, especially with the optional Extended Protection (SPP). This service includes towage for the rented vehicle in case of an event, continued trip service to the next destination via taxi or private shuttle, basic on-site roadside assistance, and locksmith service if keys are locked inside the vehicle. For assistance, you can call the central office during business hours or the emergency number after hours.

Question 7

How can I modify my reservation?

Accepted Answer

A booking can be modified up to 72 hours before the rental period begins without penalty, subject to vehicle availability. Changes in the pick-up location may incur additional fees. It is recommended to contact the reservations department for any modifications.

Question 8

How does airport pick-up and drop-off work?

Accepted Answer

Adobe Rent a Car offers a complimentary shuttle service from Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) and Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) to their nearby offices. If exact flight details are provided, a representative will meet you at the external arrival gates. Free delivery of the car to your hotel is also available within 12 miles of any Adobe office.

Question 9

Do I need an International Driver's License to rent a car in Costa Rica?

Accepted Answer

An International Driver's License is not strictly necessary if your home country's driver's license is printed in the Latin alphabet. However, if your license is in a different alphabet (e.g., Hebrew, Mandarin), an International Driver's License must be presented along with your original home license. You must always physically present your original, valid home driver's license.

Are digital driver's licenses accepted?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Adobe Rent a Car accepts digital driver's licenses.
