Jacó is a short distance off the southern highway. One main road runs parallel to the beach, with a host of arteries heading toward the water; you’ll find most of the town’s hotels and restaurants off these roads.
Almost everything is within walking distance in Jacó, but you can call Jaco Taxi (tel. 7038-1514) for a cab.
You can also rent a bicycle or scooter from a variety of shops and stands along the main street. A bike rental should run you around $10 to $15 per day, and a scooter should cost between $40 and $70 per day. Shop around, and make sure you get a bike that is in good condition.
For longer excursions, you can rent a car from Budget (tel. 2643-2665), Economy (tel. 2643-1719), National (tel. 2643-3224), or Zuma (tel. 2643-1528). Expect to pay about $50 to $120 for a 1-day rental. Or talk to a local taxi driver, who’d probably take you wherever you want to go for about the same price, saving you some hassle and headache.
