The Hertz/Firefly Car Rental in San Jose Costa Rica provided the WORST customer service we have ever experienced from a car rental place (They gave away the automatic car we reserved, only gave us an option to drive a manual car which we were unable to do, and even if we were able to drive manual they increased the daily rental price 10-fold).
We recommend you look elsewhere for a car rental (www.discovercars.com/?a_aid=chewstoexplore) or check out our truly AMAZING Uber driver and friend named ALEJANDRO who drove us all over Costa Rica.
Watch this video to see how we spent 4 days in Costa Rica for $439/pp. Prices can of course vary depending on dates, and the number of people you travel with. This is just to give you an idea!

Just a warning to those visiting the rivers or free hot springs, please do so during the dry season. Many people have drowned during the rainy season due to heads of water dragging them away.

I have been watching a bunch of travel guides because I’m planning a trip to Costa Rica and this is the only one that gives you nice information of free spots to enjoy but also prices on the ones that are not so you can have an idea to plan properly! Thank you guys! Amazing video💙

Loved that you stayed local with all my Ticos. Next time you come go to the east side near the caribbean sea. So many afro Costa Ricans, better food and richer culture!!

I just want to say that this video does Costa Rica justice! I was there last year and there were barely any videos at the time, this made the trip planning part a lot harder.

My wife and I are planning to immigrate there next year. We’ve been doing a lot of research on residency and especially watching a lot of videos. We came across yours yesterday and we were totally amazed at how well you described everything in detail and giving us prices which we have not come across yet. The greatest thing was telling us to wear water shoes in the water because of the rocks! Thank you so much! This is probably one of the most informative videos I have seen to date, short, sweet and simple gorgeous.
