Included Services

We offer many additional extras to make your driving experience in Costa Rica a safe and comfortable one and, best of all Free of charge. We provide them because we wish to provide a top quality service and not as an opportunity to add to your rental bill. We offer:

COMPLIMENTARY CELLPHONE

For most of us the idea of leaving the house without our cell phone is unthinkable. We are accustomed to be contactable and able to contact anyone wherever we may be. At Vamos-Rent-a-Car, we believe that your vacation should be no different. We provide a free cell phone for the duration of your car rental so that you have the reassurance of knowing that one of our highly qualified representatives is on the other line should you need us. While we hope this will not be necessary, we like to provide you with service throughout your car rental period and you can feel free to call for an inquiry as simple as directions to a destination.

Unlike many countries, Costa Ricas telephone company is nationalized and not part of a competitive market. For this reason, many visitors find that their cell phones are useless here as they do not have a compatible server. Another issue that visitors face when they are using cell phones from outside of Costa Rica is that the telephone bill at the end of the trip can be enormous. Calls often are charged as if they have been made from the visitors home country rather than as a local call from within the country. Although visitors are normally aware of this, the bill can still be a shock to return home to. Why not avoid the hassle and limit your vacation stress by simply using one of our telephones? You can either use our free service and take the cell phone as a precaution in order to contact us, or pay a nominal fee to use the phone as your own while you rent your vehicle. By using one of our ICE cell phones, you can be assured of coverage in all areas of the country where it is available and without a huge cost for each call.

COMPLIMENTARY COOLER

With the freedom to travel to the least visited beauty spots in the country, you do not want to be searching for a store every time you want a cold soda to cool down. We know that traveling can be thirsty work and so we provide a free cooler with our cars so you have your refreshment with you! Your cooler will keep your picnic lunch fresh until you find the perfect place to eat it. For those holidaymakers with self-catering accommodation, the cooler is a real money-saver as it allows you to take all your basics from one place to the next without the expensive and tiresome chore of repurchasing basics every time you move around the country. This is the environmentally-friendly option which we know our clients are always keen to use and we want to do all we can to preserve the nature that Costa Rica is famous for. Our coolers are cleaned and reused, the cheap Styrofoam coolers quickly disintegrate and pollute the environment. Please request a cooler to be included in your rental car when you make your booking so we can do our best to ensure availability.
Please request cooler at time of reservation to guarantee availability.

COMPLIMENTARY BABY SEAT

Recent Costa Rican legislation means children aged 12 or under must travel in an age/weight appropriate seat: baby seat, child seat or booster seat. We will provide the appropriate seating for your child(ren) free of charge, which gives you peace of mind about your child safety while traveling and ensures that you are within the country legal requirements. Since we have limited availability, the first Baby / Infant seat is complimentary; the charge for additional (more than one per rental) infant / baby seat is $1.95 per day.
Our Baby Crece child seating, like our cars, is meticulously maintained and cleaned thoroughly after every use. This saves you the inconvenience of traveling with a bulky child seat on your flight here and provides you with more baggage allowance. Unlike other rental companies who charge up to $5 daily to hire child care seating; we offer this service free of charge. We know that traveling with children is greatly rewarding but at times exhausting, so we are pleased to offer you a simple, free solution to one of our main driving concerns while you are here.
Please request baby / infant seat at time of reservation to guarantee availability.

COMPLIMENTARY ROOF RACKS

Now that you have your rental car to take you from Salsa Brava to Witchs Rock and down to Pavones, all you need is a surf rack to make our vehicle complete. You can travel with your boards safe and secure from damage strapped onto our free surf rack. You and your passengers will then have the cars interior space freed up for your traveling comfort. Your surf rack comes with no additional cost to you, unlike other rent a car companies who charge up to $3 a day to provide a surf rack on your hire car. (Straps will not be provided)
Please request roof racks at time of reservation to guarantee availability.

COMPLIMENTARY ADDITIONAL DRIVERS

If you are traveling with more than one qualified driver, then it is only fair that everyone can take a turn at the wheel without it increasing the cost of your rental. This allows you to drive further in a day as you are able to drive in shifts and so see more of the country during your stay. Of course. this also means that everyone gets a turn as passenger to enjoy the beautiful scenery you are traveling through and everyone can take a turn of the challenge of map-reading during your journeys. This is without any extra cost to you and your fellow passengers and drivers. Other rent a car companies will charge you for each extra driver, adding unnecessary cost to your car rental. We want your driving experience here to be safe and enjoyable. By reducing your rental bill, you and your fellow driver(s) should be able to relax into your driving without concern over the increase in our rental payment.

COMPLIMENTARY MAP

Vamos Rent-a-car has another smart idea to help you have the most enjoyable driving vacation possible in Costa Rica. With a high quality Waterproof Costa Rica map from Toucan Guides you can plan your trip in advance with ease in the comfort of your own home and arrive with a clear idea of where you are going and how long it will take you. This way you can ensure that your trip itinerary includes all the ‘must-sees’ with provision for safe and manageable journeys. The great advantage of this map is that it includes street maps of cities, which makes this map quite unlike any other you can purchase. This additional bonus feature will help you to negotiate the town roads of Costa Rica which are frequently without signposts or street names or numbers. Like all included value added services that we offer our customers, we are pleased to offer our North American customers this useful map free of charge (normally $11.95 plus shipping and handling.) All you need to do to acquire your perfect journey tool is to provide us with your shipping address when you reserve your vehicle. Please note that a mailing address is not a booking requirement and will need to be provided to receive your complimentary Costa Rica Map. In order for your free map to arrive at your home BEFORE your trip to Costa Rica, we need to receive your mailing address a minimum of 9 days before the start of your trip! Please send us an email at info@vamos4x4.com or call 1-800-950-8426 to provide us with mailing instructions.

It is not the destination, but the journey that counts. So enjoy your journey!
