When it comes to getting around Quepos, travelers have the option of renting a car or booking a private transfer service. Renting a car provides the freedom to explore the surrounding area at one's own pace, but it also requires navigating unfamiliar roads and finding parking in the town.

While both options are generally safe, travelers should be aware that driving in Costa Rica can be challenging, especially for those who are not accustomed to the local roads and driving style.

It is highly recommended that travelers book their transportation services in advance, especially during peak season. This is because the town is a popular tourist destination, and availability can be limited.
