    Was wondering which CR banks are the largest and most stable?  Also, would like to have one not affiliated with a US bank, so as to maintain some privacy.  Has anyone carried large amounts of cash into the country?  Is it a problem at immigration if they see a lot of U.S. dollars in your baggage? Under $10,000.  Thanks.

    We are going to be all over CR in March, and chose to go with GreenTravelCosta Rica for our Rental car.  The major companies were quite a bit more expensive, so cross our fingers and will give you a full report come April.  I’ve also heard both sides of the story on smash& grab, etc., but I’m confident if we don’t leave anything of value in the car, lock the doors, and pay the guard a buck at a parking spot, that all will be fine.  I’m usually pretty observant of where not to be, or not to park.  We will be on the central and southern coasts, at Arenal, Tamarindo, and Montezuma. Putting on the miles!  Hope the gas prices go down!!

    Denny, where are you from?  After experiencing the cental & southern zones the first half of March, we will be in Arenal, Tamarindo, and Montezuma the last 2 weeks.  Would love to compare our fact finding trips!   Wish we had more time to spend looking at real estate. Minimum time, this first trip to CR.
