Mini-Buses and Shuttle Transfers!!
Private Transfers: Professional drivers can pick you up at the
airport, for instance, or hotel, in one of their comfortable
air-conditioned Mini-Buses. If you like, they can give you a folder with
maps and important travel information about Costa Rica while taking you
to your hotel or destination for the below mentioned prices. Private,
small party transfers can be scheduled from San Jose, for example, to
Manuel Antonio or Arenal, at any time of your choosing. Just make your
reservation request by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page.
Their licensed ground operators can take you anywhere in Costa Rica in
comfort, safety and on time.
Non-Private Transfers: Non-private shuttle transfers leave from just
certain locations and are not available for airport pickup. They leave
from pre-determined locations no more than two fixed times a day, so you
don't have the flexibility as you do with a Private Transfer. However,
if there are only two people travelling, it would be a more economical
way to travel. Also, non-private transfers may not be available to all
destinations in Costa Rica. Please check with the company.
We wish you a most wonderful time in beautiful Costa Rica!

IMPORTANT: Driving a rental car in Costa Rica! Remember, you are in a
foreign country! With different laws and risks!
Drive like your life and freedom depend on it! They do!
Any foreign visitor aged 18 or older
with a valid driver's license from his or her country can drive
a car in Costa Rica for 90 days. However, many rent a car
companies require that you be older. Proof of entry to the
country is required for a police officer to accept a foreign
license, so always carry your passport when you drive (getting
an International License from the AAA is recommended for U.S.
Citizens and Residents). Costa
Rica uses the metric system, and all road signs showing
distances are in kilometers (1.6 km = 1 mile). The speed limit
on a highway is 100 km/h. In urban areas the maximum speed
varies from 40 to 60 km/h - this is slower than it seems.
Safety belts are required by law. Road conditions vary, and are
normally bad by international standards. Bumps and holes are
often present with no adequate warning. Traffic in San José
during weekdays is very heavy, and drivers are frequently
bullies. Streets in downtown are narrow.
Gas stations with 24 hour service, tire repair and snacks are
widely present in urban areas. Rural areas normally have
adequate gas supplies, although not on a 24 hour schedule.
Unleaded gasoline is available, it is called "Super". Normal
gasoline is leaded.
Many destinations require off-road vehicles, especially during
the rainy season. Road conditions vary, so always ask your car
rental / hire agency about current conditions. Minimum insurance
from the state controlled insurance monopoly is required by law
regardless of what other insurance you may carry. All
circulating vehicles must be insured against personal injury to
third parties by law, but there is no need to insure against
material damages to other cars. This means there are lots of
drivers out there without insurance to cover the cost of a
crash. Not having insurance can be a very expensive decision,
even if it's not your fault. You can purchase extra insurance,
or it is possible that your credit card my give you additional
coverage.
But remember, if you are involved in a traffic incident - call your
Embassy or Consul immediately! Being involved in an accident can
prevent you from leaving the country until it is settled!
