Costa Rica, end to end
139 self-drive overland routes across five regions — with honest drive times, road and 4x4 conditions, and the season windows that actually matter. Pick the trip, then get a rig that's been checked against the registry.
The everyday car.
For the city, the commute, and the paved run to Manuel Antonio. Verified sedans and hatchbacks, ready to roll.
Headed for the coast.
SUVs and crossovers with the clearance and space for a weekend at the beach — without giving up the comfort.
Where the pavement ends.
Mountains, river crossings, gravel backroads. The vehicle Costa Rica actually gets everywhere in.
In Costa Rica, a 4×4 is the recommended way to get around. You can save money and skate by in 2WD if you know the road and the weather holds — but for any real exploring, with no surprises from rain or gravel, 4×4 is the better call.
