Driving Advices for Costa Rica – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Local drivers are used to driving in the chaotic flow of cars. Even after a substantial portion of alcohol many of them feel confident on the road. For foreign drivers busy roads are very dangerous, and a serving of alcohol will only worsen the situation.
Taking into consideration the abovementioned features of local roads, it is recommended to move on them only with the seat belts fastened. The possibility that the driver will be fined for an unfastened belt or for talking on a cell phone while driving is very small, but it is recommended to comply with the rules for your own safety.
The road near Lake Arenal is definitely one of the most beautiful roads in the country. People, who enjoy travelling away from busy cities and like tropical landscapes, will certainly like driving on it. Not far away from the road you will see the volcano that has the same name as the lake. There is one more road near the volcano that will certainly please curious travelers.

Rental Advices
In case you need an exotic car in Puntarenas (a cabriolet, a limousine, a sports car, etc.), it is better to look for it in airports or railway stations locations, since such car types are quite rare in offices located in cities.
During the whole period of your rental in Costa Rica, do not leave the car documents inside the vehicle, and do not leave them in the hotel during your travel - always keep them close.
