    Terrible service and poor customer service

    Luis_Q, Dec 2025
    The shuttle never showed up, I called the number on the reservation and the agent did not have a clue about the shuttle, no solution whatsoever other than paying another shuttle..

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    The shuttle never showed up because you know the reservation was cancel and refunded to you one month in advance I’m sorry but we can’t do a 5 hours trip for $80, that’s why we canceled it more that one month in advance

    Costa Rica Tranfer

    Our driver was punctual, pleasant and professional. We arrived to our hotel and back to the airport, safe and sound, despite the rain. I would recommend Wanna Ride Costa Rica.

    Private transportation

    It was good drive longer than expected. We had a hard time finding driver after exiting airport door as it's a mob scene with names on posters etc. Airport needs to make things easier and safer as tourists know no one there between everyone wanting to help and finding the actual paid driver !

    Great!

    Denise_C, Jan 2025
    Great!! Eddie was early and waiting to pick us up Van was clean and spacious Eddie communicated well with us Along the way stopped to show us a family of howler monkeys

    Very Good Transportation Service

    Peter_I, Jan 2025

    Reliable Professional, friendly transportation

    Great seamless airport transport. The driver arrived early. He was friendly and gave us information about things to do in the area.

    Prompt and easy

    Marquel_B, Nov 2024
    Excellent. We called and confirmed a pick up time the day before and our driver arrived to the hotel early. He answered any questions we had about the area on our drive to the airport.

    Good driver, confusing meetup at the airport.

    Smriti_R, Nov 2024
    It was very confusing at the airport. No one to greet us. A random man kept calling people on his phone to find our driver. It wasn't the best way to start our vacation. Where were the included beverages? A bottle of water would gave been needed nice! Our driver was very good and drove carefully in the rain.

    Smooth Ride

    Transport was on time, and the ride to my destination was smooth. Handled luggage with care. The driver helped with the luggage to my place of stay.

    Was easy to find after...

    Was easy to find after leaving the airport baggage claim. Did a good job getting us to our hotel and was very friendly.

    Safe good driver

    Kristel_A, Jul 2024
    Vanessa the driver and son Marco was super nice. The only bad thing the driver was not there when we landed but there was a nice guy that called the company and was able to get a driver in 10 mins.

    Excellent service

    Josemary_N, Jun 2024
    Eduardo was there on time. Very respectful and friendly. He pleased us with local drinks and water. He answered all our questions and gave us all the information we needed and recommendations.

    Great service!

    Raquelii_M, Jun 2024
    Airport pick up was right on time. Eddie was kind and very helpful. He told us about the lay of the land as he drove us right up to our hotel. Vehicle was clean and cool.

    Great transfer

    Jason_J, May 2024
    Awesome driver great air and having beverages was a nice touch. The private transfer to condo was great.

    Couldn't ask for a better experience ❤️

    Renya_H, May 2024
    The thing that stands out to me about Wanna Rides is their customer service in every aspect. Upon arrival at the airport, our driver was ready and waiting with an easily visible sign with my name on it. We were offered cold water upon boarding and enjoyed a clean and air-conditioned ride to our hotel in Tamarindo for the lowest price I found on the internet. We even asked around in Tamarindo about other shuttle services and there were none less expensive, so I contacted Wanna Ride again and they were able to arrange the same for our return. Our driver was even early picking us up. The drivers, as well as who I contacted via chat, were super professional and helpful. 10/10

    Great experience

    Renya_H, May 2024
    Our ride was there on time and ready with cold water. The driver was pleasant, friendly and careful! I highly recommend!

    Professional transportation

    Michelle_M, May 2024
    Our group of three used this company on the way from Liberia to our hotel and also for the return trip back to the airport. Jose was our driver for the return trip. He was right on time in a clean, comfortable, air conditioned ride. He was a safe driver and got us to the airport safely and timely. I would recommend this service. We had great service both times.

    Professional and timely

    Michelle_M, May 2024
    Eddie picked us up at the airport. He had a sign with my name on it. He was a courteous and safe driver. It took just over an hour to get to our hotel from Liberia Airport. Would recommend.

    Perfect! That is all!!

    Navdeep_W, May 2024
    Eduardo is a fantastic driver and a pleasure to be around. He showed us monkeys, provided tips on beaches and dining during our ride to our resort. We appreciated this so much, we booked a separate private tour with his company also. We 10000% recommend Wanna Ride CR for your private transfer and tours. Thanks Eduardo!

    Safe and comfortable

    Shanene_R, May 2024

    Reliable transport

    Brooke_M, Apr 2024
    Very easy booking and communicating! We ordered this transfer for our group of 6 to take us to Tamarindo. Driver was on time and reached out the day before to confirm my booking.

    Excellent Service!

    Rob_V, Mar 2024

    Private transfer with Alex

    Nat_P, Mar 2024
    Our driver Alex, was awesome. Very friendly, spoke great English. I would highly recommend this service.

    BOOK TRANSPORT WITH THEM!

    Diego_S, Feb 2024
    Not only were the drivers on time, with comfortable vehicles, but I had a flight/weather delay in the States, which caused my flight to arrive the next day. This company not only kept in contact with me during the delay, but also accommodated my new arrival time! I was so happy, I booked return airport transportation with them. Highly recommend!

    Only way to travel to:from airport!

    Stephanie_W, Jan 2024
    We had the best drive back! Smooth, friendly, clean, air conditioned and great service. The drive in was a bad taxi and I was extremely carsick! so I researched and I wish we would have used this both ways!!

    Would book this reliable service again

    KenE_S, Jan 2024
    Pleased that our driver was waiting for us and ready to take us to Tamarindo. He was safe as a driver and kind enough to stop and point out some howler monkeys. He carried our luggage right to our door and was most kind. The car was a tad older and lacked some comfort but overall we were pleased with the service.

    Paid for round-trip only got 1 way!

    John_D, Dec 2023
