Costa Rica Transit provides independent travel information for people driving in Costa Rica. We work hard to keep guides accurate, but roads, laws, prices and schedules change — sometimes overnight after heavy rain.
- Drive times are realistic estimates in normal conditions, without stops.
- Vehicle recommendations describe the minimum we consider sensible in normal dry-season conditions. Always follow your rental agreement and local advice.
- Prices (tolls, fuel, insurance, ferries, park fees) are approximate and given as of the date shown on each page.
- Never cross rivers or flooded roads, and avoid driving after dark on rural roads.
Costa Rica Transit is supported by advertising. We don’t receive commissions from rental companies, and advertisers don’t influence our content.
