Drivers will try to overcharge you. Expect it. Be nice, and be courteous. Always keep in mind $1 is worth a lot more to them than it does to you.
GETTING AROUND NOSARA
ATV and Motorcycle Rentals
Rental Cars
For most flexibility, ATV and motorcycles are really the best option. There's no shortage of options. Prices vary greatly depending on model, length of rental, and seasonal demand.
If you want to rent an ATV for 2 days during high season, expect to pay $100 per day.
Motorcycles range from $25 per day to $60 per day.
ATVs range from $40 per day to $120 per day.
We can send you contacts once you arrive.
If you're renting a vehicle from a rental car agency, you need to be aware of a few things.
First, AWD is not necessary. Nosara Town to Garza Beach is flat and paved, or at minimum packed earth. For mountain or beach terrain, get an ATV.
Second, read every detail of the fine print of your booking. Costa Rican car rental agencies are notorious for bait and switch. For CDW, you need a letter from your credit card company stating it's valid in Costa Rica.
TPL is mandatory in Costa Rica. Don't buy the website version. You will have to buy it from the agency.
