Driving in Costa Rica

The Drive

Unlike the UK where driving is on the left, in Costa Rica, you'll have to switch gears and drive on the right side of the road. The change might seem daunting at first, but with a little caution and awareness, you'll get used to it in no time.

Fuelling Up

Unlike the UK, where pump service is self-service, most Costa Rican gas stations are full-service. One close to the Tambor Airport is the Servicentro Mal País. Pay in Costa Rican Colón (₡), the local currency, or your credit card.

Climate and Clothing

The climate in Tambor is tropical. Reserve the umbrellas for the UK and bring your sunscreens and hats instead. Light clothing should suffice, but a light jacket could come in handy for cooler nights.

The Surroundings

Your car rental allows you to visit beautiful beach towns like Mal País, Santa Teresa, or Montezuma. The Ferry from Puntarenas to Paquera is an experience on its own and presents a perfect opportunity to take in some incredible views.

Tambor Airport Amenities

Tambor Airport is small yet well-equipped with an array of amenities. The terminal contains a small cafe for a quick snack or coffee before your drive.

We look forward to seeing you enjoy the freedom of the road and the beauty of Costa Rica. Safe travels!
