There is no question of where the Jimny can go. The only question is where you will take it.
True 4x4 | 4 pax | Fully Equipped
Most vehicles will get you from your apartment to the co-working space and back. The Suzuki Jimny GLX will get you there too — and then on Friday afternoon it will take you down a cloud forest track, across a seasonal river crossing, and onto a beach that does not appear on any tourist map.
WheelsCR offers the Suzuki Jimny GLX on a short-term lease designed specifically for Digital Nomad Visa holders. One vehicle. Full coverage insurance. The freedom to go anywhere in Costa Rica. At $1,300 per month all-in, it is the most capable and best-value vehicle option available for nomads living here on a 3 to 24-month timeline.
Right-Sized for Nomad Life
Digital nomads are typically traveling solo or as a couple. You do not need a seven-passenger SUV burning through fuel and squeezing into tight urban parking spaces. You need a vehicle sized for your actual life — one that works as hard in a San José traffic jam as it does on a Osa Peninsula trail.
The Jimny is four doors and four seats, which means:
- Daily city driving: compact dimensions make it highly maneuverable in San José traffic and easy to park in spaces that would challenge a larger SUV
- Visibility: the upright, squared body design and high seating position give exceptional all-around visibility in traffic — you always know exactly where the corners of the vehicle are
- Fuel economy: the 1,500cc engine delivers genuine fuel efficiency — significantly lower running costs than larger engined alternatives
- Visitors: four doors means you can comfortably take friends or family when they visit — or carry everything when you move between communities
- Camping and adventure gear: the interior accommodates camping equipment, dive gear, surfboards (with the roof carrier), or everything you own when relocating from one community to another

Why the Jimny? Because Costa Rica Demands It
Most compact and mid-size SUVs sold and rented in Costa Rica — the Suzuki Vitara, Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson, Nissan X-Trail — are all-wheel drive vehicles. AWD is useful. It will handle most paved mountain roads and dry-season gravel tracks without drama.
But AWD is not 4×4. And in Costa Rica, that difference matters.
The Suzuki Jimny is the only vehicle in its class with true 4×4 with low range — a dedicated low-ratio transfer case that gives you maximum torque and control in situations where AWD simply does not have an answer. We are talking about:
- Steep, loose mountain tracks in the rainy season
- River crossings on routes to remote waterfalls and beaches
- Muddy access roads to jungle lodges and surf camps
- Sandy beach approaches at low tide
- The kind of roads where your rental car insurance gets voided — but your WheelsCR lease coverage does not
Higher ground clearance than any comparable AWD crossover means the Jimny passes over rocks, ruts, and road damage that would strand a Vitara or RAV4. In the rainy season — May through November — this is not a theoretical advantage. It is a practical reality on hundreds of roads across Costa Rica.

The Insurance That Actually Protects You
Every vehicle lease and rental comes with insurance. What matters is what that insurance actually covers — and this is where most options in Costa Rica fall short.
The WheelsCR Jimny lease includes comprehensive coverage that goes well beyond what standard car rental companies provide:
• Theft coverage
• Collision coverage
• Natural disaster coverage
• Third party liability — $500,000 USD — covering injuries to other parties, property damage, legal fees, civil liability, and medical coverage for all occupants of the vehicle
That third party liability coverage is critical. Standard car rental insurance in Costa Rica covers the vehicle. It does not cover what happens to other people. One serious accident on a Costa Rican road without third party liability coverage can result in financial exposure that dwarfs any other cost you will encounter here.
With the WheelsCR lease, you are covered. Comprehensively.
