DRIVING IN COSTA RICA

To rent a car in Costa Rica and drive to the places of interest is not difficult. The routes are well signed and people are friendly and ready to help if lost. It is a mountainous country with many narrow roads and almost all of them have two lanes. In the mountains it can be foggy with heavy rain which will require conservative and careful driving. Roads in many parts of the country have rather poor surfaces at the moment, so great care is required, particularly at night. Roads are not at their best because of heavy rain and rural nature. In spite of the challenges to drivers, Costa Rica is a fascinating country due to its diversity of landscapes and constant changes in the vegetation zones, and with care, renting a car can be worthwhile.

Driving in Costa Rica is a very strenuous and exciting experience. If your clients are thinking of renting a car the arrangements should be done with enough time in advance, specially if the clients are coming during the high season. A foreign valid driver´s license is required, which allows them to drive for 3 months in the country.

It is important to become familiar with driving rules and regulations, road conditions and areas that should be avoided. Plan your route ahead of time and check your map when needed. Remember to carry your driver´s license, passport and the car rental contract at all times.
