Taking a vacation to San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica is undoubtedly going to be an interesting experience. However, you should know that how you will be getting around and visiting all the attractions will affect your enjoyment of the trip, so it is a good idea to give some thought to your transportation needs.
By Bus
You can only go so far by foot before you get tired or the day gives way to night. Buses are a viable option but they are often slow, crowded and may not be available when you need one, squandering your precious vacation time on waiting. You would really be tied to the bus schedule in doing so but if you are adamant, you can plan around it.
By Taxi
Going by taxi is another option but taxi fares in San Jose is generally very expensive and taxis may also be unavailable when you need it. Another unpleasantness to perusing taxis is that some unscrupulous taxi drivers may try to rip off tourists by charging tourists higher than the normal rate.
By Ridesharing Services
Uber and other ridesharing services are taking the world by storm, increasing in popularity and gaining the ire of the taxi industry in many nations, and for good reason. Their fares are fair and drivers are unable to scam their passengers. Still, the service puts a stranger behind the wheel and there have been stories of predators who use ridesharing services in order to prey on unsuspecting victims.
Renting a Car
Renting a car is the option that affords the most flexibility as you will be figuratively the master of your own fate. With a bit of research and with recent advances and democratization of navigation technology, you will be able to get to your destination in comfort and at the time you plan to. If you are planning on traveling a lot, renting a car will also save you more money in the long run compared to taking taxis or Ubers since those services charge fares per ride.
