Riteve, the Spanish-Costa Rican company in charge of mandatory vehicle inspections, requested an increase of 157 percent for 2013.
In a release, the company explained that their rate has not change in eight years. The last increase was approved in 2004.
If approved, regular cars and cargo trucks would have to pay ₡25,529 ($51), ₡15,599 ($31) more than they pay now. The current tariff for these vehicles is ₡9,930 ($20).
Taxi and bus owners will be the most affected, since they must pass the vehicle inspection twice a year.
