we recommend working with Solid Rent a Car simply because after several initial meetings with the southern zone manager, Diego Vindas and explaining our need for excellence, we have not had a problem with them nor a disappointed guest in over three years.

That said, look over the other companies to see what they offer and if you decide to rent from them, please do. We are not in the rental car business and at times, our guests have had good experiences with other companies. We recommend Solid because I KNOW that Diego will not deceive you.
I used Adobe last trip and found them very accommodating. They delivered the car to our hotel in Alajuela, they gave us an upgrade on our 4 WD, they allowed us to return the car 4 hours late at no extra charge. The service was great as was the car.
Car rental car be a thorny issue. You should map of hotel circle san diego check and double check whether obligatory insurance is included in your quotation.

Some companies are less than forthcoming about these charges which makes their prices seem more competitive. No credit car company can cover this insurance.

I will be interested in hearing what you end up with akshay as I am in the preliminary stages of considering a rental car. I have a friend map of hotel circle san diego who told me to expect to pay $1000 for a rental car with the full coverage ...that seems like a lot of money for a one week rental. She claims map of hotel circle san diego she just gets the full coverage as it is better than getting the hard sale that you will get when picking up your vehicle. I am hoping she is wrong with the price. Please let me know how you make out. I know that when I purchased travel insurance they told me to not bother including the car rental in my insurance plan because CR will not honor their insurance coverage (bought in the US).
If you are a competent consumer, you will be informed and have your documents ready.

Our last rental (2012) was a small 4x4 from Solid in Liberia. We paid less than $500 for 16 days and had no troubles whatsoever. The additional insurance (the LDW, included in that $500) cost ~8/day.
The only thing to be aware of if you are going to use your credit card to take CDW is that the car rental company will usually ask for a much larger deposit than if you take their insurance policies, as they are dealing with an unknown insurer. As long as you have the credit card limit to make the deposit and still have vacation spending this is not a problem, but it is good to know in advance.
