Driving
Costa Rica
Valid driver's licenses and international
driving permits are accepted in Costa Rica, as long as they are presented with
the passport.
Drivers use
the right-hand side of the road, and speed limits are posted depending on the
condition of the road. Speed limits are different in rural and urban
areas.
Turning right on red is
permitted unless otherwise posted, and drivers must yield when entering a
traffic circle. Seat belts must be worn in Costa Rica. It is against the law
for drivers to operate cellular phones while driving.
People found driving under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs are arrested and may serve jail time.
Costa Rica
has a developing economy. Hotels and other tourist facilities in areas
frequented by visitors are generally good.
Renting a car with Alamo
will give you the opportunity to drive around the country and visit all the
beauties that Costa Rica has for you.
