Please note, that in order to rent in Costa Rica a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.

Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in San Jose CR.

Before leaving the parking garage in San Jose CR, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Driving Advices for Costa Rica – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
Drivers of mopeds and motorcycles are another source of danger for foreigners. Quite often these vehicles are run by kids. There are also dirt roads, where local people mostly walk on foot, so it is impossible to drive fast on them.
You may see some quite unusual signs next to many roads – these are small stamps in the form of a heart and a halo fixed above it. These images indicate that a pedestrian was killed in the road accident exactly on that point. Some country roads are even creepy because the number of these images is very big – the death rate on local roads is still very high.
Driving on mountain roads in the dark can also be very dangerous. In the evening, numerous mountain slopes are covered with heavy fog, which makes orientation very complicated.
