What Our Clients Say
Chris Dovel2024-09-29 These guys are great! First class service and they have superb communication so you always know what’s going on with the rental. Highly recommend!! Dan Hemmins2024-09-19 Sun Valley Rentals were so helpful right from the start. The car was a good price and we got lucky with a brand new vehicle. They were happy to make our life that little bit easier by bringing the car to our hotel near the airport and also collecting it from there. Very good communication from Alex and Aaron, I'm sure they would have helped if we had needed it whilst travelling in country. Great service. Thanks Veronika ČERMÁKOVÁ2024-09-01 Hello, my family and I spent 3 weeks in Costa Rica in several places and we used Sun Valley Rent A Car to rent a car for our entire stay. I can only recommend this company. Their service was perfect in terms of cooperation, email communication , and monetary terms. The car was personally handed over and collected at our accommodation by the helpful Mr Alex. The company's proximity to the San Jose airport is also a big advantage. In the past, I have repeatedly had negative experiences with large and established car rental companies and this new Costa Rican experience also convinced me that it is better to use a smaller, but much better cooperating company. I can fully recommend Sun Valley Rent A Car. Ondrej Cermak, Czech Republic Nadine S2024-08-27 Fantastic service! We hired a 4x4 from them for a 12 day period and were met at the airport by Alex who dropped off the car, provided local advice, guidance and talked us through the car's details. We were sent a video walk round of the car to ensure transparency and sent on our way with a full tank of fuel. The car was perfect - almost brand new and was a pleasure to drive...and drive it we did, covering a vast area during our trip. We dropped it back at the airport on departure, was again met by Alex who quickly confirmed everything was ok, returned our deposit and wished us well. During booking the communication was exemplary with a reminder sent through the week before and clear collection instructions provided. Honestly, the best service I've received from a car rental company...and we've travelled a lot!! If only they rented outside Costa Rica!! Joe Robson2024-08-24 Customer Service and the price was great. Alex dropped rental car at our hotel and drove us to the airport when we brought the car back. I was disappointed with our vehicle. It was an older model with a lot of miles and no gps. I had to buy a cell phone mount for the car to use for navigation. gacha life2024-08-23 I can't say enough nice things about this rental company and their care. They where prompt with communication, met us at the airport, very thorough on our walk through together, and just incredibly kind spirited. We had a horrible experience with Budget Car rental on our first trip to Costa Rica. So going into another rental was very nerve wracking. But that quickly faded with the care we received from the beginning to the end. We will not work with another company moving forward, when visiting Costa Rica from the United States. Jim Noel2024-08-15 Stop looking now. Sun Valley is all you need. No hidden costs. Beware the carriers offering cheap rates. Great car for over 2 weeks. Met us at the airport and went all contact terms and cars equipment. Even paid for the parking. Drop off was simple and easy. Quick check of car. Refunded the entire deposit, paid for parking at the airport, and drove us back to the hotel. I had a better experience at Sun Valley than I do here at home in the us. Sophie Muniz2024-08-14 Sun Valley is the place to rent your car in Costa Rica. I spoke to Aaron and he helped set up my reservation for the week. They are honest, communicative and transparent with you throughout the whole process. This was my first time out the country and they made the rental car process seamless! Alex met us at SJO for the drop off and pickup of the rental. The car was great throughout the whole trip. Thank you Aaron, Alex and Sun Valley for a great experience. 10/10 recommend and will be renting from them again! Caroline Mustaklem2024-08-10 Expérience superbe avec Sun Valley. Très réactif et à l’écoute de mes demandes. J’ai pu communiquer avec la compagnie par WhatsApp. Une personne est venue m’accueillir à l’aéroport avec la voiture. J’ai pu ramener ensuite la voiture à l’aéroport et cette même personne était là pour m’accueillir. À l’heure et professionnel. Paiement facile, tout est en règle. La voiture était en très bonne état. J’ai beaucoup d’expérience de voyage et de location de voiture et je n’ai jamais été aussi satisfaite qu’avec Sun Valley. Je recommande vivement ! Andre Duncan2024-08-06 Great communication and the price agreed is the price you pay here. No tricks or last minutes additions.Carga más
