“Thank you for sorting the cars for my trip,everything was a success. best“
Marc Ellis
“I just would like to thank 4x4rentacar for providing excellent service and very well maintained cars, Luis is the go to person in Costa Rica for your rental needs, he was at the airport to greet us, went over all the paperwork and even drove us out of the city to get us on our way ! We will be using them on our next trip to Costa Rica.!Thanks Luis!” W.Burge USA
“My family and I traveled to Costa Rica in August for the first time. We heard a lot of bad stories about the major car rental companies so I took a leap of faith and contacted some independent companies instead. We contacted Diego Siles at 4x4rentacar.com he was able to provide us a 2013 Hyundai Tucson (5 speed manual) that met our every need. They met us at the airport with our name on a sign and took us right to the car. We filled out all the paperwork on the spot. He provided a new GPS and a cell phone to call him directly in case of an emergency and went over all the car details/controls. He was highly professional and most helpful. The cost was several hundred less than the major car companies, plus the quoted rental price was all inclusive of full insurance, GPS, pick-up and drop off of the car. We flew into San Jose and out of Liberia. He met us in both locations, no extra charge. We had a great time and highly recommend dealing with Diego and we will be renting with him again next time we go to CR. Diego is AWESOME“.Doug and Lisa
