How It Works
After you submit your private shuttle order, we’ll organize it with our favorite operator in that area, then send you an invoice. Once paid, you’ll receive a confirmation email and be ready to go!
A friendly, reliable driver will arrive on time and carefully transport you to your destination. This is a one-way service (not roundtrip). Our drivers use modern, air-conditioned vans/minibuses for a comfortable ride. We also ensure that the drivers/companies are licensed by the Costa Rican government and insured.
Since this is a private shuttle service, only your group will be in the vehicle—no other passengers.
Luggage is stored in the back. We size the van to account for 1 large suitcase and 1 medium carry-on bag per passenger (plus personal items). If you have more, just let us know so that we can send a larger vehicle.

I had a wonderful experience booking with Two Weeks in Costa Rica! The communication was genuinely impressive. Matt was highly communicative, providing clear, detailed, and timely information well in advance of travel dates. I never had to wonder about the status of our bookings. Matt and his team were incredibly proactive, sending multiple follow-up messages to confirm details, arrival times, and pick-up locations, which gave me immense peace of mind. The website was easy to book through and Matt followed up almost immediately with confirmation.
