Renting a Car in Costa Rica
Posted in Costa Rica, Driving in Costa Rica on Oct 22nd, 2008
I recommend renting a car in Costa Rica if you are able to do so. I use Avis. I’ve had very good experiences with them. You can make a reservation at their website and you don’t have to give them your credit card number until you arrive in Costa Rica.
I prefer using a car rental company with offices in my home country. In case there is a problem I won’t be stuck dealing with a company in another country.
You can rent a small vehicle in Costa Rica for about $300 a week. If you are planning on sticking to the main roads you can get by just fine with a small car. Last time we were in Costa Rica, my wife and I rented a small Kia and had no problems. You only need a 4 wheel drive if you are planning on going to remote areas.
I have an article on driving in Costa Rica here.
