The experience

The core of this service is control: you decide where to go and when to stop, and a trained driver who knows the region steers while sharing what he sees. If you arrive without a plan, the driver can suggest a custom itinerary built around what matters to you: the landscapes, the culture, the activities you came for. No two days are the same because no two travelers want the same day. The vehicle is air-conditioned, equipped with Wi-Fi, and stocked with a cooler of beverages. All driving costs, tolls and parking fees are already factored in.

A bilingual chauffeur means you're not hiring a translator or a tour operator. You're hiring someone who drives and explains, and who can handle the logistics of the road while you focus on what you're seeing. The service includes as many stops as you need: bathroom breaks, a meal, groceries, or time at an activity. If a flight delay pushes your pickup back, the driver waits free for up to two hours. Children's seats are provided at no extra charge, and the vehicle is insured and officially registered for tourism.

The booking covers your group only: no strangers, no shared stops, no schedule that isn't yours. You can book for a single day or string multiple days together if you're moving through the region. The driver is there to move you and to answer questions about where you are. Entry fees to attractions, meals beyond what's in the cooler, and accommodation are separate.

Top questions

What does a typical day look like if I don't have a fixed itinerary?

The driver can propose a custom route based on what interests you (beaches, wildlife, waterfalls, local towns), and adjust it as the day unfolds. You set the pace and the stops. The driver handles navigation and shares local knowledge at each place.

Are there any limits on how far I can go in one day?

The service covers up to 10 hours or 300 kilometers per day, whichever comes first. Beyond that, additional hours or distance can be arranged at checkout.

What's included in the cooler of beverages?

Ice tea, beer and water are stocked daily. Any other food or drinks you want are your choice and cost.

Can I book this service for multiple days in a row?

Yes. You can arrange consecutive days, and the driver can help you plan a multi-day route through Costa Rica that connects your interests across the region.

What happens if my flight is delayed and I miss my pickup time?

The driver waits free for up to two hours if your arrival is delayed. Beyond two hours, additional wait time can be arranged.
