This ensures your driver finds you quickly and on time.

2. Where will I be picked up?

Our drivers meet you directly at the hotel lobby. For vacation rentals or private homes, we’ll pick you up right outside your residence.

3. How far in advance should I book?

You can book a one-way or round-trip transfer at any time. While you may confirm with your driver, it’s always best to send your room number to our reservations team in advance for guaranteed service.

4. Do you provide hotel-to-hotel shuttles?

Yes. We offer regular hotel-to-hotel shuttle services throughout Costa Rica. Whether moving between resorts or changing locations, our minibuses make the trip comfortable and convenient.

5. Does the hotel shuttle stop during the trip?

Yes. On longer journeys, we allow stops for restrooms, snacks, or meals if requested. Just let your driver know.

6. How do I book my return trip to the airport?

You can reserve a one-way transfer from your hotel back to the airport in advance through our booking system. Enter your hotel details and room number to get instant confirmation.

7. Are prices per vehicle or per person?

All private shuttle fares are per vehicle, not per person, for up to 5 passengers. Each additional passenger is just $10 extra.

8. Do you offer group discounts?

Yes! Large groups can receive special rates when combining transfers with tours or car rental services. Contact us for custom group packages.

Absolutely. Our private bus charters can take you to national parks, theme parks, or adventure activities anywhere in Costa Rica. Perfect for families, corporate groups, or destination weddings.

For the comfort of all passengers, eating, drinking, and smoking are not permitted in our minibuses.

Sometimes, yes — but not always. Our drivers are assigned to different routes daily, so we cannot guarantee the same driver for both trips.

No. Our hotel shuttle services are always private. You’ll never share with other passengers unless you request a custom group service.

13. How do I pay for the shuttle?

  • Credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx) may be accepted with a 13% surcharge, but must be authorized in advance through Paypal.

14. Are there areas where you do not operate?

For your safety and due to road conditions, we do not service:

  • Limón, San José Downtown hotels (due to heavy traffic), Drake Bay, Pavones, Talamanca, Caño Negro, or Los Chiles.
