Riteve, the vehicular inspection service, is pushing for an increase in its rates that would see users pay from the current ¢9.930 to ¢25.530 colones for the inspection of a light passenger vehicle.
Riteve argues that it has not had a increase for the last eights years, yet their costs have increased.
The application for the increase is now before the Autoridad Reguladora de los Servicios Públicos (ARESEP) – the government agency that sets prices for all public services, including the price of gasoline, bus and taxi fares and toll charges.

If the increase is approved, it would more than double inspection prices on all types of vehicles.
