The transport between the different destinations is not included in the price of our packages. In Costa Rica we advise you to book a rental car in addition to your packages. The easiest way to discover the county's hidden treasures is by car (you go where the public transport won't). Furthermore,  you can rent a GPS system with the car, although a good road map is always included and you'll receive detailed road descriptions from us.
 
When travelling to the other countries in Central America (Panama, Nicaragua and Guatemala) we will arrange transport between your destinations (bus, taxi, boat or domestic flight) and it will not be necessary to rent a car. Of course we are always happy to advise you on the different possibilities!
 
  
 
 
Edventure cooperates with local company Mapache Rent A Car (www.mapache.com). Mapache is one of the few car rental companies in Costa Rica in posession of a CO2 neutral driving guarantee certificate. We also prefer to work with local service providers to stimulate the local economy.
Edventure offers its clients a temporary 10% discount on the website prices of Mapache!

*Basic insurance package (compulsory in Costa Rica).
This package covers damages to your own car and to third parties. In case of damages to third parties, your personal risk is 20%. Your own car is insured, but also here a personal risk applies of $750.
When picking up your car, Mapache will ask of a credit card guarantee of $750, to cover possible damages. This guarantee will be nullified when the car is delivered again damage free.
Full insurance package (voluntary)
It is possible to fully insure your car for damages to your own car. This costs an additional $12 per day. In this case Mapache will only ask for a $100 credit card guarantee as personal risk. This insurance does NOT cover any damages to third parties. These damages to third parties can be covered by paying an extra $3 per day.
Additional information 
Two persons can drive in the rental car without extra charges. A third person will be charged $3 per day.
Mapache's cars are maximum two years old.
If you rent a car for more than one week, you'll receive (after paying a deposit) a free mobile phone if available. Please let us know if you'd like to make use of this option when you're confirming your booking with us. The telephone charges you'll pay afterwards.
In the booking form you can select the car of your choice. Of course you can also always inform us via the contact form or email.
