Do I need 4x4 in Costa Rica in rainy season?

Typically you will not need a 4×4 vehicle in Costa Rica. However, we suggest at least renting an SUV with decent road clearance to make your driving experience more comfortable. The exception to this is remote areas with unpaved roads. In thesea areas, a 4×4 is a good idea.
