KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Puerto Jiménez

  • Driving a car hire in Puerto Jiménez gives you the freedom to explore Puerto Jiménez and its surrounding areas at your own pace. You can create your itinerary, visit attractions of your choice, and make spontaneous stops along the way without relying on public transportation schedules. Puerto Jiménez is located in the stunning Osa Peninsula, known for its biodiversity and natural beauty. A Puerto Jiménez car hire allows you to access remote locations, such as the Corcovado National Park or remote beaches, that may not be easily accessible by public transportation.
  • If you are flying into Costa Rica, then the closest airport to Puerto Jiménez is Puerto Jiménez Airport (PJM), which is a small regional airport located in the town of Puerto Jiménez.

Heavy rain, fog, or high winds can impact driving conditions, especially during the rainy season (May to November). Be prepared for sudden weather changes and adjust your driving accordingly.
