Description

If you are moving to Costa Rica and need to purchase an SUV or truck, we have the experience to help you get what you need quickly and smoothly. Our service will work for almost any budget, we take you through the full process of buying a vehicle in Costa Rica.

Before You Arrive

We take you through a preliminary consultation to explore the options based on your intended budget and activities. We can also offer advice on forms of payment, how the title transfer works and even insurance coverages.

Test Driving and Selection

Once you are here in San Jose, we will pick you up at your lodging and take you to see vehicles that fit your criteria. We’ll usually have a list of 8 to 10 vehicles, although you won’t actually drive that many. It only takes a half day to get through the list of candidates, normally 1 or 2 vehicles stand out as superior and you can make your choice.

Paperwork, Payment and Insurance

If you have the money here in Costa Rica, we can proceed to wrap up the purchase the same afternoon. We’ll explain the sales contract and registration process, working with a lawyer who specializes in vehicle sales and will process the title transfer quickly. We can also get quotes on insurance from a brokerage that works with all the insurance companies operating here, to see which is the best option.

WheelsCR will get you rolling with a minimum of fuss – don’t waste time and effort doing it on your own, contact us today for the best service in Costa Rica.
