Costa Rica requires that all vehicles be covered by liability insurance (TPL). No vehicle can be rented without this protection. Most car rental search engines or travel sites like Expedia, Booking, Travelocity or similar have a really low published daily rate for vehicles, they only offer the daily price of the vehicle and then offer you their own insurance. When you think you are getting a great deal, the cost goes much higher at the end and it is too late. Our rates are Final and when we say NO HIDDEN FEES it means the price quoted will be final.
THIRD PARTY LIABILITY (TPL)
By law, Costa Rica requires that each rental vehicle be insured with Third Party Liability (TPL). This is a mandatory policy. It protects renters against liability resulting from injury or property damage to third parties with a 20% deductible. No vehicle can be rented without this protection. This means that 80% of the damages to third parties are covered by TPL and 20% of the damages are covered by the client.
