Talking Cars vs. Buses/Shuttles

So after some very careful consideration, but having absolutely no experiance in the matter, i have drawn the preliminary conclusion that if you are planning on traversing over large portions of CR, you will probably pay about the same in the end for a rental car, that you would for shared shuttles or private shuttles. Im a college student so i am trying to do the trip right but save as much as i can. My friends said they used GPS in their rental and it was a life saver. Anyone have some real knowledge on this subject?

Default Re: Cars vs. Buses/Shuttles

Well Shuttles are to expensive. Yes in this case you can rent a care. But the bus system is very cheap and not much slower then the shuttle. Buses are comfortable and in low seasons not very crowded.

You don't relay need a GPS to travel around by car. Out side the San Jose area isn't much to not miss and if you have any doubts people are friendly and usually talk pretty well English (the younger the better).
