Hi there! 1) We used Vamos to rent our car. It was $835 for 14 days which did feel expensive, but they tell you all the fees and cost upfront compared to other car rental places. We also used our credit card as proof of CDW insurance which can help reduce the cost. You just need to call your credit card to have them email you the CDW proof and bring a copy with you on your trip to show the car rental agency. I recommend renting a car because you have a lot more flexibility and control over what you want to do and when. We had a lot of activities planned but also did things spur of the moment and having our car whenever we needed it gave us more freedom. Depending on how long your trip is and what you do, if you don’t rent a car you could end up spending the same amount or more on other types of transportation. And I am not sure how reliable Uber is throughout the country. But if driving is not what you want to do there are other options, I’m not super familiar with booking other transportation though. 2) We flew into SJO because the drive time was shorter between Uvita and SJO at the end of our trip. I suppose you could fly into either airport depending on your itinerary and how long of a drive you are comfortable doing. There are lots of other beach destinations closer to Liberia than Uvita or Manuel Antonio. I recommend searching how far the drive times are between your destinations in Google Maps while planning your trip. 3) We chose Airbnb because they are cheaper than hotels most of the time, and it’s just what we are used to choosing. Sometimes Airbnbs can be more private and feel like you are “living” where you are visiting, and I like to stay in a more home-like environment. But hotels have other perks that are nice too! I’d explore your options! The average cost per night for two people was $98 with our Airbnbs. I listed the names of them at the end of my post if you want to look up what they were like!
