Rental Cars in Costa Rica : |
 Driving in Costa Rica can be a challenge to the newcomer. Until travelers get used to the roads and local driving habits, it is best to avoid driving at night, especially outside the city, never leave anything of value in the car (even if it’s in the trunk), and always drive defensively. Hazards include pedestrians, animals on the road, huge potholes, pavement that suddenly ends, unlit vehicles, sudden fog in mountain areas, torrential rains, and reckless drivers.
To explore Costa Rica in the most adventurous way and with the most freedom, an excellent alternative is to rent a car. Among the models to choose from are: |
