We recommend the following principle for selection of an off-road model for trips in Costa Rica: if your planned routes are mainly within a city borders – a small crossover, while if the routes go through countryside or mountain regions – a large and powerful off-road 4x4 car.

Costa Rica, Costa Rica: SUV and Offroad Rental Tips
The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Costa Rica are: Hyundai Santa Fe, Daihatsu Terios, Jeep Cherokee, Nissan Pathfinder 4WD, Toyota Landcruiser, Hyundai Tuscon and others.

While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Costa Rica ask information about two credit cards.

Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.

Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.

If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Costa Rica are mandatory child seats for travellers with children. OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe trip and green lights on the roads of Costa Rica!

Driving Advices for Costa Rica – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
There are some toll highways in the country, and the cost of one ride is usually US$1. Toll roads are considered of the highest quality, but they often have some small defects.
The priority of drivers comparing to pedestrians is another distinguishing feature of local roads. Pedestrians are obliged to give way to cars always and everywhere, even on a crosswalk. Foreign drivers must be particularly careful when overcoming traffic lights and pedestrian crossings. Do not expect that vehicles that move in front of and behind you will stop to give way to people.
Local motorists generally stick to one rule - they warn other vehicles in case there’s a road patrol. Just like in many other countries, they use flashing lights, recommending other drivers to be more careful.
