They know the good places to stop for lunch and the places with the amazing views to take pictures. All drivers carry a cell phone and are happy to share wifi access with you (where available).

Multiday Van & Driver
Van & Driver rentals of 3 days or more can start anywhere in Costa Rica and go to any location you need to. Prices range from $215 US to $350 US per day, depending on your group size and itinerary. This daily fee includes all expenses: taxes, fuel, parking, highway tolls, insurance and lodging and meals for the driver.
In our experience, most families and small groups have a better experience and spend less money by using a combination of a full time driver on some days, private transfers between locations on other days and our local drivers for short trips at each location.
