We had cut our trip shorter by four days and the price quoted changed very little. When I questioned this I was told because I HAD to purchase additional insurance on the car we were driving. Also, our flight left before the dealer opened so I was told I had to leave the car at the airport, but not where at the airport. There are no signs or public parking lots around the airport so I drove around asking people where to leave it at 4:00 am in the morning, but no one knew. I finally took it to Payless and parked it in the front and took an Uber back to the airport. It was a real hassle.

Apr 2021

Pros:

The staff was friendlier than most car rentals I have experienced at SJO. However, the car was pretty beaten up, though it ran okay. And, they told me the car had 3/8 of a tank of gas when it was closer to 1/4, but the contract said it had 3/4. I brought it back with 5/8 and they honored what they had said about 3/8, but it still cost me extra in gas, just to be sure.

Cons:

This car was pretty beaten up and probably shouldn't be rented. Also, be more careful about gas levels.

4.0 Mediocre

Feb 2021

Pros:

Staff was very friendly

Cons:

It’s a scam. The price of the rental literally ended up costing 11x the reservation price due to the “mandatory insurance”. Everyone picking up a car felt they had been ripped off. This is probably the case with all Costa Rica car rental agencies but doesn’t make it right.

Dec 2019

Pros:

Staff was available and responsive

Cons:

I was told online my price would be $277. I get there and they charge me $530. They initially give me a car that brakes don’t work and my husband wrecks into a car in front of us. They show no remorse although the situation could have ended much worse (I.e wreck on the highway going 70mph). They bring us another car but it’s the exact same brand- we still feel very uncomfortable about the brake situation so we ask for a different type of car and they just give a hard no. Zero remorse. Deceiving prices and little remorse or attempt to make the situation right make this a poor experience.

4.4 Mediocre

Nov 2019

Pros:

They did finally change the car for us after telling us previously there weren’t any other cars.

Cons:

When we were quoted for the price it was $34 total for 6 days. However, when we arrived we were told there was an obligatory insurance we needed to get (in-spite of my credit card having an international plan). The price quickly changes from the quoted $34 dollars (which supposedly included taxes and fees) to $300. We ended up paying an extra $50 more for the full insurance (since we were worried what they would try to charge us for if anything at all happened) so it came to $350. When we asked why it changed so drastically they said that it was because of the extra fees and taxes (which the website had said were included.) I had originally picked a Jeep but the confirmation email was for an SUV instead (So that was strange). When we got the Jeep it had no gps or even a usb charging port . When we asked about this the man told us he should go by Walmart in order to get one for the car. When we complained he said that they didn’t have any other cars and then finally offered us a carport charger that he had that we could borrow. When we left the seatbelt light turned on and wouldn’t stop beeping (even though we had our seatbelts on.) finally we had to turn around and return the car. We also realized there wasn’t even a middle seatbelt in the back of the car. They miraculously had a different car for us then. Overall- not a good experience. Would NOT recommend. We do speak Spanish as well fluently so it wasn’t like anything but was “lost in translation.”

Nov 2019

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I have a printed confirmation from you for $110.00. In fairness it does read estimated taxes and fees $57.12. Confirmation # CRF8702737. After paying for a shuttle to the isolated offsite I was told the rental was $450.00 no negotiation and he kept pointing to the estimated taxes and fees. Extremely deceptive business practice. While Adolfo in customer service was very good and resolved my issue I would highly reccomend these deceptive business practices and disclose to your customers what the actual fees will really be.

4.8 Mediocre

Jul 2019

Cons:

Charged us an extra $420 'compulsory' insurance on our $115 rental. We were not allowed to opt out of it even though we already have rental car insurance. This was a scam and made our rental 4 times more expensive than originally booked!!

2.0 Poor

Jun 2019

Pros:

Had to pay a ton of money once I showed up to the counter, as the Allianz insurance recommended on the Kayak website and that I had paid for was deemed invalid by the Ace staff at the pick-up point. I had to pay from $50 I had paid online to $300 at the point of pick-up.

Cons:

Misinformation should be cleaned up from the Kayak website regarding the Ace rental details and charges.

Cons:

The reservation was booked on Kayak.com for approximately USD $144 for 2 days. Upon arrival they claimed to have absolutely no inventory, then, after waiting ~2 hours, they colluded with a partner rental company and charged my credit card USD $1,000.00 for a 2 day rental. Criminal!

There was a minor scratch at the bottom of the front bumper which is not visible unless you are on your knees. As far as I am concerned we didn’t do anything to cause it. It may be already there and we didn’t notice when we took the care at midnight. At any rate my gripe is with how they handled this situation. We bought most expensive coverage possible with them which is twice the rental price itself. But during checkout they stalled us because of this issue even though we told them that we are cutting too close to our departure time and requested them to call the insurance and get it reimbursed because we already bought the coverage. But they insisted on us calling them and we couldn’t because we didn’t have local mobile plan. After lot of back and forth they checked other contracts on the vehicle and probably figured out that the damage was already there and the let us off the hook. It was a happy ending but the whole drama could have been avoided if they had customer service at the forefront of their minds.

This company is a scam. They didn’t even have the car. I had to have 4 wheel drive for the location I was staying. I paid for a 4 wheel drive. They didn’t have it. They had a beat up car. I couldn’t get my money back from them. They said there was nothing they could do. I should have read these reviews on this company before. I normally do and of course when I slacked, I had the worst experience with a rental company of my life. I paid for 2 weeks rental and never even took a car. Total scam!

Pros:

It was close to the airport.

Cons:

It was a complete scam. We were quoted a price and I even paid extra for an insurance plan. The van to the rental place was so hard to find at the airport. The guy gave us a tiny beat up car and said the only way we could take it was to pay for his car insurance. It was midnight and we had nowhere to go. He showed us a paper that he had written the different prices which seemed sketchy. We could pay like $590 and a $3000 deposit or like $500 and a $500 deposit. I told him I already purchased insurance and he said that doesn’t matter. We finally paid to get the heck out of there and the locks on the car didn’t work, the trunk was impossible to shut, the key clicker didn’t work, it was a piece of junk. We had to go up a hill on our drive on a regular road and the car gave out and couldn’t even make it up a hill. We were so happy to get rid of that car at the end of our trip. When we pulled up to drop it off no one was in the office and finally a guy came out in such a bad mood. Definitely never going back there.

Had to return the first car like the front was gonna fall off exchange it. The next day upgrade was not much better. Told the attendant that I would bring it back on Tuesday, April 30 by 9 AM the original contract was for 22 April through 29 April and again I told the attendant that my flight was on the 30th so I have a receipt showing that and now they’re trying to charge me for an extra day so I probably would never do business with priceless again thank you

Misleading. Even the workers there know that their boss is scamming tourists. The prices they give on line are nowhere near the price you pay upon arrival with “mandatory” insurance.
