Buyer Be Ware I discovered that Flexways, like other rental car companies in Costa Rica, have lots of expensive hidden insurance fees and other potential expenses when you book online before you arrive in country. The price I paid in advance had many more add-on costs when I arrived and I ended up paying much more for the vehicle. But they have you under a barrel. And to rub salt in that wound I ended up having to pay for a full tank of gas when I returned the car even though I had just filled up and had the receipt to prove it! They claimed it was not completely full. That was a complete scam. Because of heavy traffic, I decided to pay rather than get back on the road to go back to the service station I had left 5 minutes before turning in the car. I was in livid! The bottom line is make sure you understand all the fees they will charge you before you reserve and commit. You will likely be better off renting from one of the big names than a local Costa Rican company.

Forced to buy insurance Company states they provide full coverage insurance for the car rental. When I went to pick up car, the agent stated that the provided insurance was worthless and that I was required to purchase their insurance. This added over $200 to the rental. They stated that I was not allowed to take the car unless I purchased their insurance. Took someone 3 months to respond to my issue and then stated that the agency was correct. Why would anyone buy more insurance if full coverage was already provided???? No one can answer that question, avoid them at all cost.

Still waiting for deposit refund… Have been waiting 2 weeks for the refund of my deposit of 450 dollars despite being told it would be 2 to 3 days. Customer service have gone quiet. They were late collecting us from the airport and the entire rental process was stressful and uncomfortable. We were told we could be arrested if we didn't buy further insurance despite having already bought full coverage through Discover cars. I can't recommend this company at all.

Quick & easy Everything went smooth, the driver wait outside Punta Cana airport, so we did all the paperwork on parking lot :-) The car was brand new as I expected. No problem with deposit return, except currency change rate from USD to DOP.

Rip off toll charges, poor admin The only reason they get one star is that the car was fairly new. On arrival at Miami airport no one at the shuttlebus to take us to the car collection centre. I had to call an international number which Incurred additional cost to my mobile contract. They said they had no record of my booking. 3 phone calls later they found it. The toll policy is scandalous and completely out of proportion to the toll costs and their probable admin fees. I feel like they are taking advantage… $20 bucks a day for 10 days (or $25 per toll admin fee) - we only went through tolls on 2 of the days we had the car. Total toll cost was probably $15-20 and we had to pay $200 in admin fees 3 days after arrival I started receiving messages saying they were expecting me to collect my car despite me already having it. At the end of the trip their customer services told me to email them to resolve the high toll charges. I was then ignored despite emailing them a couple of times Won’t be using again
