Planning for your Costa Rican trip? Here are some ways to help you score some big deals:

Book for a week

Most people opt for short-term rentals and that’s cool if that’s all you need. However, if you’re going to stay longer, consider booking a car hire service in Costa Rica for a week. That’s because you’ll net the weekly rate, which can slash the cost down from normal to something way cheaper.

Check the rates

Sometimes, it’s best to keep an eye out for weekday and weekend deals. Some rental companies offer good prices on weak days like a Thursday. So book that ride straight through to the weekend. That way, even if you pay for the ordinary rate on a Friday, you’ll get discounted rates on Thursday and the whole weekend through.

Look at the special pages

Plenty of Costa Rica car hire services offer special rates and promos. Don’t miss out on a good deal just because you went straight to the booking page. Explore those offers to your heart’s content. You might find the perfect deal to offset your expenses, says Solid Car Rental.

Book before your trip

Some travelers get to the country and head over to the car rentals at the airport for a last-minute booking. If you’re going in high-season, you could end up with a zero booking. That or you’ll get charged astronomical rates. You might even have to go with a car that isn’t ideal—too big or too little leg space—for you and your family and friends. To make sure you get a booking, find a good price and get the car that’s ideal for you, then don’t leave all those things to chance. Book ahead.

So if you want to make sure you don’t pay for more than you have to, keep these tips in mind. With less car costs, you’ll have more to put towards your travel funds!
