Car rental in La Gamba

Your Right-hand Drive

Unlike the UK, traffic movement follows the right-hand side of the road in Costa Rica. Get accustomed to this rule for a smooth driving experience. Don't worry, though! Most of our car hire options are automatic, making this transition stress-free.

Hire According To Need

Depending on the kind of adventure you want to embark on - a 4x4 or SUV comes highly recommended. These vehicles are ideal for tackling the unpaved roads that lead to Costa Rica's unspoiled natural gems.

Move and Park With Ease

Though the roads are bumpy, driving yourself is possibly the best way to explore La Gamba and its beautiful surroundings. Free public parking is widely available, but be mindful to park in secure, well-lit areas, to safeguard your rental car.

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

Enjoy the picturesque journey, but respect local traffic laws. Always carry your driver's license, passport, and car rental documents. The standard speed limit in urban areas is 50 km/hour, and while on highways, it's 90 km/hour.

Neighbourhoods and Attractions

Drive to the Piedras Blancas National Park, a less-known biodiverse refuge a few kilometers from La Gamba. Whether you fancy round-the-clock wildlife spotting or enjoy hiking, this national park offers it all.

Climate Considerations

Costa Rica, including La Gamba, generally experiences a tropical climate throughout the year. However, the majority of rainfall is seen from May to November. So, it's worth planning your car rental travel accordingly.

Currency Conversion

Costa Rica's official currency is the Costa Rican Colón. It's sensible to have some local currency with you for highway tolls and roadside dining experiences. An up-to-date understanding of the exchange rate will help your holiday money go further.
