How It Works

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, it will be only your group in the vehicle, no other passengers.
Luggage goes 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.

Nicole Alia (Verified Customer) –
It was so easy to book- quick, clear communication on pricing, availability and policies. Then the pick up and ride itself was perfectly smooth and enjoyable. I didn’t have to follow up before it just went seamlessly as planned and Jobanni was wonderful!
To note, I was supposed to be traveling with a friend and they ended up cancelling, so this ended up being a solo trip. Being able to relax and enjoy myself despite the change of plans and enjoy the ride through beautiful scenery with great conversation (which says a lot coming from me as an introvert), was amazing.
I will definitely use again when I return and wholeheartedly recommend, Pura Vida!
