What's Included
Local Drivers, Local Knowledge
Our drivers live here. They know the shortcuts, the scenic viewpoints, and the best roads for every season. Years of local expertise behind the wheel, making every transfer smooth and stress-free.
Based in La Fortuna
Costa Rica deserves to be seen through the window, with a cold drink in hand
The road from San José to La Fortuna winds through coffee plantations, misty mountains, and small towns where locals wave as you pass. The route to Guanacaste reveals dry tropical forests that transform into golden savannas. Every transfer in Costa Rica tells its own story.
Our drivers have traveled these roads for years. They know where the best roadside fruit stands are, which viewpoint gives you the clearest shot of Arenal Volcano, and the perfect spot to stretch your legs after a long flight.
With us, you arrive relaxed and ready to explore, having already experienced a slice of authentic Costa Rica along the way.

Let Us Handle the Road
Costa Rican roads are beautiful, winding, and full of surprises. Our drivers navigate them daily so you can focus on the views and the vacation ahead.
Mountain Passes
Hairpin turns through cloud forests, elevation changes from sea level to 2,000 meters. Our drivers know every curve.
Unpaved Sections
Some of the best beaches and hotels are down gravel roads. We have the vehicles and experience to get you there safely.
Real Travel Times
GPS apps underestimate Costa Rican distances. What looks like 2 hours can easily be 3.5. We give you accurate times.
Rainy Season Ready
Afternoon downpours can turn roads slick in minutes. Our drivers adjust pace and routes based on conditions.
Waterfalls, viewpoints, coffee plantations, and local markets along the way
Every route in Costa Rica passes by something worth stopping for. Waterfalls hidden just off the main road. Miradores with views of volcanoes and coastlines. Family-run coffee farms, artisan villages, wildlife sanctuaries, and traditional sodas serving casado the way abuela used to make it.
Our standard transfers include one complimentary stop for photos or a quick stretch. But if you want to transform your transfer into a half-day exploration, our Explorer Upgrade adds 3 extra hours to your journey. Visit a waterfall on your way from the airport, stop at a sloth sanctuary, or pull over at that perfect beach you spotted from the road.
The Explorer Upgrade also includes a cooler stocked with local beers, San Pellegrino, sodas, and snacks for the road.
