Tip: ATM's and Money

I have found that the best ATM's to use are either Banco Costa Rica (BCR) or Banco Popular.  These ATM's do not charge a fee for using a debit card from outside Costa Rica but remember your bank at home may charge a fee such as an international transaction fee.  The Plus Network also charges a fee the same as elsewhere.  Some ATM's give you the choice of withdrawling dollars or colones.

When you arrive in Costa Rica at the airport in the baggage claim area there is a Banco Costa Rica (BCR) ATM, so if you want some clones on arrival in Costa Rica you can take out some colones.  If you use the currency exchange service the do not give a good exchange rate.  When you need to change currency always opt for a bank or Servimas.
