Hi There

I left my bike in Costa Rica last May. There is a wahrehouse about 3 km from San Jose airport.

You drop of the bike, you get a paper that states your bike is there and you take it to the Aduana right by the airport. There they stamp a halt to your temporary import document and you can leave it there for up to one year.

The storage costs $ 3 per day. The guy promised me a good price because i store it almost one year. I will go back to pick up my bike on April 10. so after that date i can tell you more. The place looks save and there where about 6 other bikes in storage.


This is what i posted last year when i dropped it off.


Thanks to everyone for all the info.
I dropped off my bike at Cocos today. It was very easy. There where six other bikes there. They have one corner in the warehouse where they store the bikes. It's all under cover and the whole place looks safe.
I had a look at one other place. The price was the same but I would not have liked to leave my bike there.
Well, I guess I will see in eleven months if I choose the right one.

The office lady give me a paper which I took to the Aduana. The office lady there the made a few copies of the temporary import license and passport and ownership papers. Now I have the temporary import license suspended, for up to one year.

It was a lot easier then what I emaginet.

I pay $3.00 per day

Better go by coordinates , Addresses in Costa Rica are terrible to find

Cocos warehouse 09°59′10.36″N 84°13′22.63″W

Aduana 09°59′50.44″N 84°12′40.11″W

I thought I post this because the last post is 2012 and sometimes it's good to see a newer one.

If you can wait to april 12 or so i can tell you exactly the costs and how i found the service.
