It is possible to travel to Costa Rica in your own vehicle if you have plenty of time and want to really enjoy all of Central America. The problem with travelling in this manner is that you also have to drive back. The amount of time you have to spend driving will make a significant cut into the time you have to spend in Costa Rica. If you have enough money to spend on hotels and meals along the way, you can actually save money and have a fantastic vacation by taking a flight into San Jose. You can rent a car to drive around when you are in the country and leave it behind when you fly home.

The best way to travel to Costa Rica is to fly there. Many travellers do not even bother with car rental in Costa Rica because of the poor road conditions. Most of them are not paved and are full of potholes. In San Jose, trying to navigate the traffic is very stressful and in rural areas, there is a real possibility of having the car stolen. The costs of renting a car and the prices of gasoline are very high. If you plan to rent a car during Christmas or Holy Week, you have to make reservations well in advance of your trip because the country almost shuts down during these times.

It is easy to make arrangements to travel to Costa Rica. This country is quickly becoming the vacation destination of choice for many tourists and there are many vacation packages available. Travel agencies have all the flight information you need to make connecting flights from your local area to the international airports with flights into San Jose. There are also domestic flights within Costa Rica that are relatively inexpensive. Many tour group companies will gladly make all the reservations you need for both the travel to and from Costa Rica and your hotel reservations to make your vacation as enjoyable as possible.
