Discover Costa Rica with a rental car

Costa Rica is a paradise for nature lovers, and with a rental car, you’ll reach places that are otherwise difficult to get to.

  • Start your journey in San José and drive to the cloud forest of Monteverde or the active volcano in La Fortuna

  • Spot sloths and toucans in Tortuguero National Park, which you reach with a mix of driving and boat travel

  • Follow the Pacific coast toward Manuel Antonio, known for its white beaches and monkeys in the wild

  • Prefer something less touristy? Head to the rugged south, like the Osa Peninsula and Corcovado National Park

Roads in Costa Rica vary from highways to gravel routes, so renting a car gives you the flexibility you need.
