The pickup time is completely customizable, available 24 hours a day. Just enter your preferred time on the form. The driver will arrive a few minutes early and be waiting at the hotel reception or outside the vacation rental house.
Note that late night service (between 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m.) may be subject to extra charges. We would notify you of this by email before finalizing.

The driver will be happy to recommend a restaurant or store along the way.
We also can help coordinate longer stops along the route to see an attraction. If you would like to make a longer stop, please let us know so that we can quote the additional hours of waiting time. Waiting time typically costs around $25-30/hour. The driver can hold your bags securely in the van while you enjoy the tour or attraction.

How It Works
After you submit your private shuttle order, we’ll organize it with our favorite operator in that area, then send you an invoice. Once paid, you’ll receive a confirmation email and be ready to go!
A friendly, reliable driver will arrive on time and carefully transport you to your destination. This is a one-way service (not roundtrip). Our drivers use modern, air-conditioned vans/minibuses for a comfortable ride. We also ensure that the drivers/companies are licensed by the Costa Rican government and insured.
Since this is a private shuttle service, it will be only your group in the vehicle, no other passengers.
Luggage goes in the back. We size the van to account for 1 large suitcase and 1 medium carry-on bag per passenger (plus personal items). If you have more, just let us know so that we can send a larger vehicle.
Note: We also offer a private shuttle-boat-shuttle option that breaks up the drive with a boat ride across Lake Arenal.

Two weeks in Costa Rica helped with all of our transportation needs. Just provided them with all the information and they took care of the rest. They were so helpful and easy to work with. Would use them again on our next trip to Costa Rica! They used a highly reputable transportation company. Vehicles were clean, air conditioned and drivers were very professional. Driver arrived on time, helped with luggage and answered any questions we had. Never had to worry about transportation needs. Thank you, Two Weeks in Costa Rica!!
