Thanks for your replies. I did not realize that was cover in the Roger Peterson’s book. It sounds like the informal arrangement based on good faith that I already have is the way to go. I appreciate your comments.
Thanks David, That’s helpful and sounds reasonable.
Thanks, I appreciate the alternate route and directions through San Jose. How long does it take to drive through San Jose? What time does the rush hour traffic start on a weekday?
David, Thanks again for your help.
I rented from Thrifty last year and would never do it again. The insurance is extra and liabity is manditory in Costa Rica. Credit cards usually don’t cover it in Costa Rica. We and several friends who also rented from Thrifty and had mysterious extra charges on our credit cards. i.e. flights to Miami. The 4×4 we rented had balding tires, and we had a flat tire in the first half hour. For directions to Cartago, they insisted we had to go through the cityof San Jose and there was no way to go around it. That is not true and very bad advice.
David, Thanks for the very useful information. What sort of interest rate do they charge on the variable rate mortgage? Could you provide an email or other contact information for Stewart Title.
Thanks,
Ellen
