I have a week off between the end of summer and the start of the fall term. One of my girlfriends managed to do a timeshare swap in San Jose. So off we go.

Since the place is free to me, I offered to pay for the car rental. From what I read the roads are bad so a 4x4 is necessary to really explore the country.

My to anyone who has been there is two fold:

1. how bad is the parking in san jose?
2. is it smarter to make the car reservation here in the states or when i get in country? or is it smarter to just rent the car for a day at a time on the days when we need a car.

Any tips are appreciated!!!
