Yes, I do remember all that with Mapache, a few years after we bought. I wished I would have seen your article before we bought…LOL It gets complicated and we actually did not buy from Mapache, but another company who bought from them, and continued to develop, is how it went. I did the research on the company we bought from and at the time, I only heard good things about them, including from the attorney who did a little research on them for me. Our attorney told us everything was good, no problems so we thought all was good. (the atny was not from the Coco area and had no ties to anything going on in Coco or the actual sale of our condo.) This other company had filed permits, so they said, but turns out no record of them. As it turns out, this other company ended up pulling out a few years later, and left. Then all heck broke loose. Yes, it is a bummer, but when you do what you are supposed to and things still bite you in the behind, that is the risk… sigh..
I have been using Europcar and I have only had good experiences with them. Plus they will pick up and deliver the vehicle, usually a $10 charge. The rates are reasonable and the staff is very nice.
I agree that the Linda Vista is a great hotel. The food in the restaurant is delicious and the steak is yummy, plus it is close to La Fortuna. If you stay in room 16, you will have views of the lake on one side, and the volcano on the other.
Thankfully, my credit card company blocked the charges so there have been no charges applied to my credit card for the car rental or the other charges they tried to apply.
Yes, I am totally willing to pay for the damage that we caused to the second car because it was our fault, but definitely not the first car. Especially since they tried to apply the charges for the first car an hour after we called in to have them bring us another car. That is the part that upsets me. I am sure we will get this cleared up and I have no intention of paying anything until I have in writing from them, what the charges are for. I know they will be inflated charges because it is a car rental company, they would do the same thing in the states if there was damage to a rental car. Yikes….
My husband is still in CR and I told him we had better get it straightened out in case they won’t let him leave the country….you never know….I will tell you the name of the company, and I am sure it will be deleted from my blog if I am not allowed to say, so I will put it at the end.
It was Budget car rental near the Liberia Airport.
