Rent a car in Costa Rica

Car Rental in Costa Rica is very popular and a great way to explore the country. In some parts of the country, the roads are very bad (for example Guanacaste area). That's why we usually recommend renting a 4x4 vehicle.

Driving in Costa Rica is easy. There is not much traffic as soon as you leave the city of San Jose. Maximum speed is usually 80km/h, but many roads are not good, so you will have to slow travel anyway. Distances in Costa Rica often don't look far, but the travel time is long which is because of the road quality.

We always find the best rental car prices on Discover Cars and usually choose Alamo or National when renting a car in Costa Rica. We always had very good experiences with them.
