About Us

Hertz Costa Rica is a company with 55 years in the rent-a-car market, being part of the wonderful experiences, that Costa Rica offers. We have the trust, loyalty, and commitment of our clients, our priority is to provide them with high-quality services, focused on environmental and social responsibility. We have locations in International Daniel Oduber International Airport (LIR), Liberia, San José, Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), and Alajuela. 
  
 For the past few years, Hertz Costa Rica has worked on improving its services through service differentiation to meet our customer's needs. We have implemented services such as car delivery straight to the airports, chauffeur service, wedding service, prepaid fuel, and premium car fleet. 
 We have adopted an environmental approach in the development of all processes to reduce our carbon footprint  

The impact produced by these services is measured and mitigated through the continuous maintenance of the cars and specific ecological actions such as the planting of native trees in Guanacaste, as well as with monthly payments to FONAFIFO. In this way, customers are guaranteed that they are actively contributing to the conservation of the natural environment. We have recycling programs in each of our stations and the main office to take care of the environment and to encourage our customers and employees to do the same.

Environmental Awareness

What is Green Heart?

 Having a Green Heart means being aware of the impact we have on our stakeholders and taking actions to reduce and/or compensate for such impact. 

Why do we have Green Heart? 

•  Because we measure the CO2 emissions of our fleet and create awareness of our environmental impact. 
•  Fourth tier Sustainable Tourism Certification. 
• Hertz Costa Rica applies and obeys the rules to conform to the national regulations that govern our activities, as well as the Law for the Conservation of Wildlife. Under this Law, the keeping of wild animals in captivity and of some plant species is considered illegal.
•  We compensate our carbon footprint through the purchase of Carbon Offset Credits from the National Fund for Forest Financing, known as FONAFIFO. FONAFIFO executes the National Environmental Services Program whose mission is to preserve and recuperate Costa Rican forests through a strategic financial stimulus plan.
• All of our gasoline-fuel TOYOTA vehicles have a VVT-I engine. This unique TOYOTA technology ensures high-level performance and more efficient fuel consumption while reducing CO2 emissions
