Private Transportation

Transportationcostarica.com offers round-trips with cars, motorcycle rentals, and transfers from hotel to hotel. A combination of different means of transport naturalist is also an option. Whether you make a round-trip by car or motorbike rentals, after a beach extension, you will be transferred back to San Jose.

Below is some useful information about transportation options available to you during your vacation.

An ideal way to explore Costa Rica freely with a rented car. Traveling privately, at your own pace, go and stop when you want, and you will probably more often get in contact with the locals. Driving in Costa Rica, even though it is different from flat Belgium or the Netherlands, is easy to do.

Most roads are paved, and with a few exceptions, even the dirt roads are in fair condition. The signage is clear, and the distances are relatively short. Keep in mind that 120km/h highways do not exist here. Two lanes here is standard, and all the cornering and constant climbs and descents in mountain areas can average 40 or 50km/h through the country. But that’s just convenient, giving you more time to enjoy all the beautiful landscapes the country has to offer

Most places can be reached with a standard car. Still, for more comfort and safety, a 4×4 vehicle is recommended, especially for mountain areas with unpaved roads, such as Monteverde, Rincon de la Vieja, and San Gerardo de Dota.
Visit https://transportationcostarica.com if you prefer renting a car to a trip transfer which is the ideal solution. You will travel with a shuttle service from one destination to the other, and once on site, you can use taxis or transport to the hotel. For such trips, we work with Interbus Shuttle Service, a private bus company that provides reliable transportation from one hotel to another hotel.

Those shuttle buses commute every day and back between San Jose and most tourist destinations in the Caribbean and Pacific coast, as well as the Arenal/Monteverde region, and there are daily connections between most destinations. With Interbus, you will travel in a private van with air conditioning and an international company directly from the hotel to the hotel, with just a bathroom break on longer journeys or a transfer stop on some routes.

This is not a sightseeing tour, and the drivers are no guides even though they often speak some English. If you also want a guide that can also guide you around, get in touch with cuchitransfers.com. We work with local professional guides in Spanish and English.
