If you have a driving licence from Europe you are permitted to dive in Costa Rica for 90 days. Driving is not advised in Costa Rica as the style of driving is totally different and so is the condition of the roads. Roads are not generally straight and have numerous bends and have pot holes all over. Doing 60 mph and having to stop because there is holes in the road is never pleasant. If you do decide to drive in Costa Rica please do with care and drive defensively.Speed limits in Costa Rica are in kilometers per hour and are much slower than back in the UK, usually one can average around 40-60 mph on highways and 15-25 mph on side roads.When traveling between destinations please leave ample time, especially when catching an international flight.
