BUYING A

car

7

If you’re spending time in Costa Rica, a dependable vehicle becomes essential for navigating muddy tracks, mountain routes, and rugged jungle paths.

However, acquiring a car here can pose significant challenges. Prices often exceed expectations, and road conditions vary greatly depending on the season and Costa Rica’s diverse terrain. If you’re considering a pre-owned car without a warranty, a trusted mechanic’s evaluation becomes imperative.

Understanding the legal procedure of purchasing a vehicle is equally demanding. You’ll want to carefully consider aspects like title transfers and insurance coverage. Are the marchamo (registration and mandatory liability insurance) and DEKRA (vehicle safety inspection) current? How about liens or fines?

If all of this seems overwhelming, rest assured you’re not alone. We’re here to guide you at every step, ensuring you secure a dependable vehicle for your Costa Rica adventure.

Amidst these intricacies, we can guide you to an insurance policy that makes sense for your unique needs, so you feel protected no matter the curveball.
