Important tips for renting a car in Costa Rica

You must have a valid driver’s license from your home country when renting a vehicle and driving in Costa Rica. The license must be valid for a period of over two years. What if your license is in a different alphabet, like Chinese or Hebrew? You will need an international driving permit as well as your home license.

Like most European countries and the Americas, Costa Ricans drive on the right side of the road. 

The minimum age to rent an Adobe car is 23 years old. You will also need a valid credit card from a major carrier to cover the rental deposit. In most cases you can pay for the rental itself with a debit card from a major carrier like Mastercard or Visa.

At Adode, we do not accept cash payments for the rental or security deposit.

An SUV 4×4 rental will turn Costa Rica into your playground, promising an unforgettable journey through breathtaking scenery. 

You should check out Monteverde’s National Park, where the cloud forest covers the mystical green landscape with a gentle mist. Or, journey to the pristine beaches of the Golfo de Papagayo for a coastal retreat.

Other beautiful places to visit are La Fortuna and the Osa Peninsula, which are famous for their hidden waterfalls, rainforests, and thrilling adventure tours. 

Rent a 4×4 SUV to discover hidden treasures and secluded getaways far from the most popular destinations. A regular vehicle is fine for driving in San José, Arenal Volcano, and Manuel Antonio National Park.
