Has anyone rented a 4 wheel drive vehicle that sleeps six? If so with who?

Has anyone rented from Orbitcostarica.com? They were quick with a quote, but I'm not sure about their reliability.

We will be driving from SJO to Dominical. If anyone has done that trip I would be interested in knowing if it way easy, good roads, etc. I do expect it will take about 3-31/2 hours.

Sitting or sleeping? Not sure I would rec any cars for sleeping If you take the new 27 to the Costanera Sur, 3.5 hours sounds about right. Great road. I would look into Solid Rental cars, they have an office near the airport plus one in Dominical. Have used them twice and very satisfied.

Also, you can have a look with Anywhere Costa Rica. I had a good experience with them.

We had a good experience with Alamo. If you need to fit six people and luggage, I'd take a look at getting a van.

Are vans available in 4 wheel drive?

We looked into a 4x4 van, and didn't find anything. You will want a 4x4 for the Dominical area. We rented a Mitsubishi Montero for our group of 7 from Solid. Everyone packed lightly and we brought some straps to tie a couple of the suitcases to the roof. Solid Car Rental was great.

Thanks everyone. I'll look into Solid and Anywhere Costa Rica. I'll ask again ...has anyone rented from Orbitcostarica??

what 4X4 would sleep people?

c, I read your post saying that you were going to sleep in your car, so that's why I suggested getting a van, but now I'm thinking that was just a typo on your part. I don't believe van's come in 4X4. Are you really sleeping in your car?

Have not heard of Orbitcostarica at all. Tri-color is another one that's popular.

OMG! I didn't catch that even when the first person made a joke. I meant to write SEATS six!!!
Don't feel too bad for us, we rented a beautiful house.

LOL - I was wondering how you were going to get all your luggage in there and sleep in there too.
