People travel to Costa Rica to get away from it all. It is the land of adventure with towering mountains, deep canyons, rugged grasslands, rainforests, and hundreds upon hundreds of miles of scenic coastline.

An increasing number of travelers are opting to fly into Costa Rica’s Liberia Airport (LIR). It is located in the northwest of Guanacaste Province, close to beautiful beaches and national parks. The San Jose Airport (SJO), near the nation’s capital, is the other International Airport option and receives the most travelers annually. 

The Northwest Pacific Coast is wildly popular among travelers from the United States, Europe, and Canada. The best months to visit Costa Rica are during its dry season, which runs from December through April, and during July and August. 

It just so happens that these months coincide with the coldest months up north and summer vacation for most northern hemisphere countries. All the more reason to visit Costa Rica on your next holiday!

Another option is the stunning Caribbean Coast, which is driest during September and October. Airfare is often cheaper at this time of the year, as well. And the spectacular Caribbean beaches should not be missed. 

So, what’s the best way to get around in Liberia? 

Most visitors who’ve frequented Costa Rica more than once will say that renting a car is your best option. But remember, although there are plenty of car rental companies in the country, they’re not all the same.  

Adobe offers genuinely competitive rates and no hidden fees, ever! All you need is a valid driver’s license from your home country, a major credit card, and be over 23 years of age.  

Having your own wheels means you’re in control of your vacation itinerary. Travel when and wherever you want. Seek out those off-the-beaten-track treasures. Explore how native Costa Ricans live and spend their free time. And feel secure knowing your rental car agency has everything covered if you run into a problem. 

Our Adobe Rent a Car Liberia Airport office is located less than 5 minutes from LIR and only 7 km southwest of the airport exit. Tell your Adobe agent when your airplane is scheduled to land, the number of people traveling with you, and an Adobe shuttle bus and agent will be waiting to pick you up at the airport gates. 

There are 15 full-service Adobe offices where you can hire SUV and 4WD in Costa Rica. If you plan to mix and match transportation options with in-country flights, there’s likely to be an Adobe office nearby the domestic airport you fly into.

Get a 4WD in Liberia, Costa Rica 

Most people visiting Liberia and the surrounding area opt for renting a 4WD. Most major and secondary highways in the country are in great shape. However, once you leave urban centers, the roads become less reliable and even downright rugged. 

Steep terrain, dirt roads, and potholes are common occurrences in Costa Rica. And a 4×4 car rental, Liberia, Costa Rica, is your best bet for staying on top of the game. Nothing beats the added lift and grip of a 4WD vehicle. Even if you don’t use the added traction, you won’t regret knowing it’s there. 

Tall mountains run the length of Costa Rica’s interior. And a large percentage of the country’s attractions are found in their heights. These include several National Parks and Volcanoes, including the Rincon de la Vieja and Arenal volcanos. Chirripo and Los Quetzales National Parks are all in the highest points of Costa Rica’s cordilleras among several other unique destinations, like the renowned Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. 

Many of the smaller coastal towns are not paved. And seasonal rains can wreak havoc on usually smooth dirt roads. It’s always a relief to have a four-wheel-drive over turning back when the road ahead looks a little rough. 

What four-wheel drive SUVs can I choose from?
