🧰 What to check before traveling by car in Guanacaste

Traveling through Guanacaste by car is one of the best ways to explore Costa Rica, but high temperatures, rough roads, and long distances can affect vehicle performance if it is not properly prepared.

Before hitting the road, we recommend checking:

Engine oil: Heat accelerates oil wear. A recent oil change helps protect the engine.

Braking system Especially important if you plan to drive in mountainous areas or on dirt roads.

Tires and pressure High temperatures increase internal pressure and can cause uneven wear.

Battery: Hot weather reduces battery life faster than cold weather.

Air conditioning is essential for long trips in the coastal area.

A preventative check-up can avoid breakdowns during your trip and save you time and money.
