Car Rental Quote: Advice?

Hi Everyone,
I will be going to CR in a couple weeks and yesterday contacted my hotel about arranging a car rental to arrive at our hotel (xandari) the morning after our arrival and we will drop of in Liberia upon our departure. This is seven days total. We asked for a small SUV 4WD, preferrably automatic. Here are the options. Anyone have any advice/suggestions?

These are the options we can offer for the dates requested:

AVANTI RENT A CAR
Gran Vitara $297.00 + $25.00 for the Drop off at Liberia.
Jimmy $250.00 + $25.00 for the Drop off at Liberia.

MAPACHE RENT A CAR
Gran Vitara $335.00 w/ no extra charge for the drop off at Liberia
Bego $300.00 w/ no extra charge for the drop off at Liberia

ADOBE RENT A CAR
Bego $372.00 w/ no extra charge for the drop off at Liberia
Tucson $402.00 w/ no extra charge for the drop off at Liberia

I had a good experitnce with Tricolor last week. Had a Daihatsu Terios with stick for a week $222, total price.
They picked us up at Villa Bonita and picked up the car there on our return.

Avoid Avanti U Save credit card fraud...

We are big Tricolor fans. We've always found the best rates there. 12 days for us with the Daihatsu Terios is a little over $400. Everything is always included in the quote. That is where some of the companies really stick you. . .the quote seems cheaper until you find out it didn't include anything but the basic rental.

We are also big fans of Hotel Villa Bonita. Hope you had a good experience there. We are booked there for a couple of nights in July.

If you take their SLDW with the agency, the deposit is only $100 and you're covered! Great service also.
