San Jose City Car Hire

Best Western Irazú is located along the General Cañas Highway in west San José, about 12 km from SJO airport and about 8 km from the city center. With 2 rental companies directly connected to the hotel, it's easy to pick up or drop off a car without needing to go to the airport. The location makes it a practical starting point for trips west toward Puntarenas and Jacó.

The hotel is right on the major traffic thoroughfare connecting the airport to San José, near the Multiplaza Escazú shopping center about 5 km to the south. La Sabana Park – Costa Rica's largest city park – is about 10 minutes' drive to the east. The area is commercial with good opportunities for gas stations and shops along the road.

Refuel your car at one of the several OKA or Delta stations along the General Cañas Highway before you leave San José. Avoid driving into downtown San José with a rental car – parking is difficult and theft risk is higher. Book your car at least 48 hours in advance as availability at the hotel is limited with just 2 rental companies.
