No the basic rate was $84 for the WEEK. However, that didn't include the insurance, GPS etc. The total that we paid Budget when we returned the car was just under $300. We picked up the car on a Sunday and returned it on a Saturday. We also paid $76 to Orbitz for a separate insurance policy.

I came across the business card of the guide that the family we met at Arenal used. He was their driver and guide all rolled into one. The woman that told me about him really spoke highly of him. They had used him on a previous trip and this one too. She said that he knew good places to stop and would stay at each place that they stayed. He was Alexis Alvarado. His website is transmacawcostarica.com.

Hi traveler2005 - I am enjoying your trip report. We are also looking for a VRBO place to stay. I have called on one in particular that is right next to Hotel Mariposa. I was wondering if you could share which one you stayed in?
