Private vs. Shared Transport in Costa Rica

While Costa Rica is a small country, it's not as small as some people think. This makes transportation and getting around Costa Rica a crucial factor when planning a trip, especially as most tourists visit at least two destinations while on vacation here—a few nights in, say, Arenal or Monteverde, followed by time at the beach.

The choice of transportation from the airport to these locations can significantly impact the overall travel experience. In this article, we compare private and shared transport options in Costa Rica. Private transport offers flexibility, personalized service, and the freedom to explore destinations at one's own pace.
