I rented a full size sedan for a price of $28. At the location, they added mandatory Costa Rica Insurance, concessonary fee, etc for a total of $156 for a Nissan Quashqai. Very deceiving pricing which creates a lot of friction with the customer. Wasnt aknowledge as a AVIS Preferred member.Reviewed 12 Sept 2024
