Due to the short distance between most destinations and the flexibility that it offers, many clients prefer to rent a car. This allows you to plan your travel on your own time and come and go at your leisure. We work with the most reliable and experienced car rental agencies in Costa Rica, making it a simple process.

Moreover, we offer in-country customer service to our clients to ensure that in the event of any problem, we can give you immediate assistance. more >

By Shuttle

If, however, you do not wish to rent a car, or perhaps combine your rental car with another type of transportation to better take advantage of your time, we offer private shuttle vans, as well as local flights. The shuttle vans can pick you up from any destination in the country, and take you anywhere you wish to go. Many clients opt to have a van take them to their first destination to avoid the drive from the airport, and then pick up their rental car at that destination, and return to the airport with the van, leaving their rental car behind. This is another way to spend your time wisely. more >

By Plane

Finally, there are small runways scattered throughout the country at some of the most visited destinations such as Tamarindo, Nosara, Punta Islita, Quepos and Puerto Jimenez. These flights are generally on Cessna planes for up to 12 passengers and certainly offer a faster method of traveling from one destination to another. However, be aware that almost all flights come and go through the airport in San José, therefore, it is a great option to get from San José to another destination, but not from one alternate destination to another, as you will have to fly back to San José first. Many clients opt to fly to their destination, and then pick up their rental car for use in the area, and then fly back on the local flight. Click on the option(s) that most interests you and contact us with any questions. more >
