    We had a late pickup in SJO and needed to drive 2-3 hours that evening and our driver was timely even after dealing with our flight delays. He was extremely helpful, friendly and even helped us figure out the hotel once we got there. I would highly recommend this company.

    First Timers

    We were flying in late to San Jose and did not want to make the drive to La Fortuna in the dark. We stayed at a hotel near the airport and our driver was on time the next day to expertly navigate the curvy roads. He delivered us in a timely fashion and we were able to check into our room early. I think his name was Mauricio. He was very polite!

    Great transportation company!

    The driver was professional, the car was quite nice, and prompt with communication. He watched our flight to know when we arrived, messaged consistently before, stopped for lunch as we had not eaten.

    Wonder driver with prompt...

    Had a wonderful experience. Long shuttle ride to La Fortuna but our driver/guide was very nice and made several stops for food and bathroom breaks :)

    Informational transport

    Rita_D, Sep 2022
    Roberto was much more than a driver. He provided us with information as if this was a tour of the country. We stopped and had lunch at a Soda and he recommended places and foods to eat during our stay.. A very welcome beginning to our first trip to Costa Rica.

    Excellent drive & experience

    Lanier_G, Sep 2022
    Our driver William was excellent! He was informative, a cautious driver, and genuinely cared about our comfort. He used google translate to make sure we understood everything. The drive felt like a tour! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    Excellent Service
