Want the freedom of the open road, with a local contact who speaks your language? We arrange your car rental in Costa Rica with our partner rental companies, Adobe Rent a Car and Mapache Rent a Car, and we advise you on the vehicle and insurance that suit your itinerary.
You can book the car on its own, or together with your lodging and tours.
An SUV is enough for most itineraries, including Monteverde, the Osa Peninsula and the Nicoya Peninsula. A 4×4 is still available if you prefer. Tell us where you are going and how many of you there are, and we will suggest the right vehicle.
The price depends on the type of vehicle, the length of the rental, the season and the insurance you choose. We give it to you in a free quote, with no obligation.
Our tips for driving in Costa Rica (roads, seasons, driving at night) are gathered in our guide Renting a car in Costa Rica.
Along with the car, we can book your lodging and tours and give you a travel booklet with the itinerary and the Waze coordinates of each stop: that is our self-drive tour. Would you rather not drive? See our tours with a private driver-guide or our trips without a car, by shuttle. To travel on two wheels, see our motorcycle rental and self-guided tours and our motorcycle tours.
