Video Rentals
Video buffs will be happy that many video rental shops do business in the San José area. For a small initial fee you can acquire a membership at one of these stores and enjoy many privileges. Most movies you rent are in English with Spanish subtitles.
In 2001 Costa Rica's first Blockbuster store opened in the suburb of Escazú. The store is open everyday from 10 a.m. to midnight and rental fees are about $3.00 per movie for a couple of days.
