Transportation Details

For your group of 19, you will travel in 2 Toyota HiAce or Nissan Urvan 14-seater minivans for both routes. To ensure luggage comfort and plenty of space, we do not seat more than 9–10 passengers per vehicle. Both vans will travel in convoy at all times and follow the exact same route to ensure seamless coordination and convenience for everyone. Additionally, complimentary stops are included along the way on your trip toward Puerto Caldera (Puntarenas) if you’d like to pull over for lunch, stretch your legs, or grab snacks.

Regarding the option of using a larger single vehicle:

The next size up would be a coaster bus (such as a 30-seat Toyota Coaster or similar). However, this option is significantly more expensive than utilizing two 14-seater minivans. The two-minivan setup gives your group the most cost-efficient, flexible, and comfortable setup overall.

Payment Policy & Important Information

⚠️ Heads Up! To keep our prices as low as possible, we only charge a small deposit online. The remaining balance is paid in cash on the day of service. This helps us avoid high processing and banking fees in Costa Rica, which can reach up to 33% due to local regulations and financial institution charges. All our prices are in USD.
If you have a return transfer with us later in your trip, please remember not to spend all your cash, as you will need it for the balance of the final service.
We strongly recommend obtaining USD in cash before your service to avoid the additional 33% extra charge. Of course, we also accept local currency (Costa Rican COLONES).
For security reasons, we do not make stops at ATMs in Costa Rica during the transfer, so please plan accordingly.
📌 Important Reminder: Please plan your cash expenses wisely and make sure to reserve enough cash for the remaining balances of your services, as agreed in the confirmation.
💵 All remaining balances must be paid in cash only at the end of each service.
To confirm these reservations or if you have any flight details to share, just let us know and we will get everything set up for your family!
