How you travel

The ride is part of the trip too.

No shared shuttles and no waiting for other passengers. It leaves when you want to leave and stops wherever you want to stop.

  • The whole van

    Just for your group, with room for everyone’s luggage.
  • Stops along the way

    Lunch, a restroom break, the supermarket: included, along the route. What is charged separately is the tour; the Tárcoles crocodile tour, for example, is quoted on its own.
  • Wi-Fi, water and baby seat

    Included, just like the tolls on the way: the cooler comes with water for the group. Let us know if children are travelling.
  • Confirmed in writing

    Date, time and pickup point, in a message you can keep.

Who is behind it

The owner, at the wheel.

No booking centre: Carlos is the owner and the main driver. He answers you, plans the trip and drives most transfers. If he is not available on your date, a partner driver he trusts takes the trip, and he tells you directly on WhatsApp.

Before you book

What everyone asks us

These are the questions that today take a whole conversation. Answered here so your message can start further along.

Is the price per person or for the vehicle?

For the vehicle. Published fares are per vehicle unless the route says otherwise, and they already include taxes: the price you see is the price you pay.

What if my flight is delayed?

At airports we track your flight and wait up to two and a half hours from landing, at no charge, in touch with you while you clear immigration and customs. At hotels and houses, if we cannot reach you, we wait 20 minutes.

Can we stop along the way?

Yes, and it is included. Every transfer makes one or two usual stops: about an hour to eat and around 20 minutes for the restroom or the supermarket. Always along the route of the service, with no detours. Tours are what is charged separately.

Can children travel?

Yes, and the child seat or booster is free. Tell us when you book so it is ready before the trip. Minors always travel with a responsible adult.

How much luggage fits?

The vehicle’s capacity decides: when you book, tell us how many are travelling and how many bags you bring, with their size —carry-on, medium or large—. Everything travels inside, as the van carries no roof rack: a surfboard fits at no extra cost if your group leaves the space, but long boards do not fit. Luggage that was not declared may not fit, and a second vehicle is not always available.

When is the transfer confirmed?

Once we confirm the date, the time and the pickup point in writing. The site publishes prices; it does not confirm bookings on its own.
