Pura vida starts at the wheel
Reliable SUVs and 4x4s. The mandatory insurance is already in the price. A real person meets you at arrivals.
Roads you can't see from a tour bus.
Rainforest, volcanoes, two coastlines. You set the schedule.
So where are we going?
Pick your adventure. We'll show you the drive and hand you the keys.
Where's your adventure?
City, mountain or beach. Pick one and the drive plays as you scroll, with the right car waiting at the end.
Built for these roads
Every price below already includes the mandatory liability insurance. What you see is what you pay at pickup, plus tax.
Sample daily rates for a 7+ day rental in green season. Peak weeks (Christmas, Easter) may vary.
From the gate to the open road
Renting a car in Costa Rica has a reputation: surprise insurance at the counter, long shuttle rides, tired cars. Tico Drive fixes all three.
