renting a car when entering Nicaragua from CR

Country forums / Central America / Nicaragua

We will be heading into Nicaragua from CR next week and will be there for a week or so.

Since there are four of us, it seems like renting a car might be a good idea. Does anyone know where we can rent a car upon entering the country? We will be coming from Liberia on the PanAmerican Hwy.

upon entering nica there is a budget rental office located next to a duty free shop. I rented a car and left it here upon leaving nica to enter costa rica. all and all rates are cheap. a little Suzuki hatchback costs $24 a day with minimal insurance. The big catch is the drop off fee if you drop the rental car at another budget location. I believe it is an additional $45 rental fee. other option if take local buses to San Juan del Sur and here you will find lots of rental offices.

Thanks esperanzas. We are going to get that little suzuki at the border. It will be about $400 for eight days with insurance and taxes.
