Top tips for renting a car in Guanacaste

  • You can freely explore the entire Guanacaste region with Costa Rica car rentals in Guanacaste. With a rental, you have full control of your vacation since you can set when to leave and return to your hotels. Use of public transportation like buses confines your schedule to the bus times. We recommend acquiring a 4x4 vehicle since rainy weather is dominant in Guanacaste. Dirt roads in rural areas get very slippery, and some roads get flooded.
  • Guanacaste laws state that it's mandatory to have car seats for children aged 12 and under or weighing less than 80 pounds. In particular, children up to 13 kg (28.5 lb) should be fastened in a rear-facing car seat in the middle seat of the vehicle. Children below four years and weighing less than 18 kg (40 lb) should be in a front-facing car set. Those between four to six years or 25 kg (55 lb) and less should be in a booster seat with a back, while those above should be in a booster without a back.
  • You can drive Guanacaste car rentals throughout Guanacaste and Costa Rica without any restrictions. All car rental agencies allow driving in Costa Rica, but only a few allow crossing the border to other countries. If you wish to cross the border with your rental into Panama or Nicaragua, you should inform your rental provider. Car rental agencies like Enterprise will provide a vehicle exchange at the border, and you will also pay a cross-border fee. You can also return your rental to any location within the country on request.
  • Most local drivers in Guanacaste lack good road etiquette. It's not uncommon to find drivers switching lanes and overtaking without giving you a proper signal. You will share roads with motorcycles, so watch out for them while driving. Also, bigger motorized vehicles are common to run into when driving on rural roads. Ensure you maintain a safe distance between your rental and these vehicles. Moreover, police commonly conduct random checks on roads, so don’t be alarmed when this happens.
