In Costa Rica driving is on the right-hand side. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP).
The speed limits in Costa Rica are generally 40 km/h in urban areas, 60 km/h on secondary roads, and 80-100 km/h on highways, subject to change based on road conditions and signage.
Fuel stations are readily available in the city and along major highways, but it's wise to monitor your fuel level when traveling to more remote areas of the country.
It's also important to be aware that Costa Rican roads can be narrow and winding, especially in mountainous regions. During the rainy season, road conditions can deteriorate, and visibility can decrease, so extra caution is advised. Additionally, watch out for pedestrians, cyclists, and animals on the road, as they are common sights, especially outside urban areas.
For a more enjoyable and safe driving experience, familiarize yourself with local traffic laws, and consider renting a 4x4 if you plan to explore rural or mountainous areas, as they offer better handling on rough terrains. Remember, patience and careful planning can greatly enhance your driving experience in Costa Rica.
If you need help while in Costa Rica, don't hesitate to contact our office. In an emergency, the national emergency number is 911.
