Multiday Private Driver
Private Driver services of 3 days or more can start anywhere in Costa Rica and go to any location you need to. We have vehicles with private driver available for groups of any size.
We do not have a fixed daily price for the Private Driver service. Each itinerary is calculated individually. As an example, for a group of up to 9 people, the price for a Private Van & Driver service is between $325 US to $425 US per day, depending on your tinerary.
For larger groups, custom quotes are calculated individually, according to your itinerary. Please contact us using the link below and we’ll respond with our suggestions and a price quote right away.
Our prices include all expenses: taxes, fuel, parking, highway tolls, insurance and also the lodging and meals for the driver.
In our experience, most families and small groups have a better experience using a combination of a full time private driver on some days with some private transfers between locations on other days. Larger groups normally benefit more from the permanent Private Driver.
