If your itinerary mainly includes staying in Jaco and other major towns or cities, and your visit is during the dry season (December-April), a small car should suffice for your car hire in Jaco. However, if you're planning on venturing into rural areas, unpaved roads, or visiting during the rainy season (May-November), a four-wheel-drive vehicle or an SUV would be more suitable as you'll be able to handle challenging road conditions better with improved traction and higher ground clearance. One thing is for certain: it's essential to ensure that any car you hire is equipped with functioning air conditioning due to Costa Rica's tropical climate.

In urban areas like Jaco, the speed limit is generally 40 km/h (about 25 mph).

However, specific speed limits can vary based on road conditions and locations. Always be attentive to signage indicating speed limits and other traffic rules.

Jaco has designated street parking spaces throughout the town. Look for marked parking spaces along the streets and be sure to check for any parking restrictions or time limits indicated on signs. If you prefer more formal options, there are several public car parks, including Parqueo La Central located close to the beach and the "Parqueo Público del Pacific Center" near the Pacific Center shopping complex. These options require payment of an hourly fee.
