We have a reservation for the end of October and the rate is $518 for 2 weeks. That was the best deal that I could find from a company that seems to be honest. There are some small companies, or maybe private persons that had lower offers but I prefer to play it save.

Without knowing what type of insurance you got, Basic Insurance (SLI) 20% deductible (CDW) and/or No Deductible (SCDW), that seems like a good fair deal with a sedan, and basic insurance.
I rented a 4x4 about a year ago for a week with CDW coverage, and when all said and done it cost me a little over $400.
FYI - When renting, make sure that you inspect the car beforehand, make notes of all dings, dents, scratches etc on the form they give you. And take it for a test drive for any weird noises, rattles, brake handling etc and make a note on that also. Otherwise you may or more likely WILL be paying for something you did not do. Aways have the rental agency approve your inspection when returning the car and keep that for your records.
Also check to make sure it has a good spare tire, jack and lug wrench. Many rentals will also provide a few maps.
It's a pretty good deal. I don't think that you will get a better rate than $37 per day, which is what your deal comes out to in the end. Make sure you check the fine print at the time when you pick up the car. As the previous answerer said, check the car and make sure they list any and all previous damage to the car and that you get a copy.
And watch out for Costa Rican drivers. They are horrible. I owned a car for a month before selling it and deciding on public transportation. If I really need a car, I rent, but I don't do it unless I absolutely have to.
Don't lock up your automobile with valuables in sight. They will get stolen. Good luck, and have a safe trip.
If you need any other information about Costa Rica, try the TicosLand.com website. It's in both English and Spanish.
I think it is a good rate. For a Terios, anything under $40 is quite good, unless rates are lower in October than during the rest of the year. I rented a Terios and the best I could find last May was $42 a day.
