renting a Landcruiser Prado in Costa Rica,,leaving next Wed. and will be there for a full two weeks,,thank god

how are they off road? anyone ever drive one

the one we are getting is a standard shift...turbo diesel

 

Rental Car! I love beating on rental cars, enjoy!

 

"It's a rental" that's my favorite. Get the insurance!

 

we are getting full insurance

government discount and other things,,,,should go smooth

315 each for 14 days,,,not bad I would say

 

How many people are in your party? I'm curious because I'd like to go down there sometime. Trying to get a feel for the costs....

 

Enjoy your trip,

Doug M.

 

i rented one in costa rica just last year. great vehicle. we had the diesel with an automatic and it did great. we had 4 adults with luggage and it did very well in the mountains, especially monteverde, where it rained 2 days and there was mud everywhere.

plenty of power and sipped the gas. smooth ride. a good choice to rent.

have fun!

 

If you can post some pictures of your trip when you get back. I'm hoping to go to Costa Rica possibly this summer.

 

there are 5 going, and a 6th friend lives there

so 6 total on the rental, plus 1 backpack each and about 10 surfboards

we have a free place to stay and all of our time will be spent surfing so no real expenses

we are going to quepos, dominical

but will go to pavones and maybe over to mel pais, depending on how the waves are

i will post pics when i get back, there are a bunch of pics on my travel page on my website www.sfaboston.com

my friend did a more expensive costa trip,,,but can read about it here http://sfaboston.bizland.com/travelog.htm

 

oh and as much as i love warm water

there is something to be said for Nova Scotia and the Canadian Maritimes....cant wait to go back

 

Is that US $? If so then WOW
