We can highly recommend Christian should you need a private driver (or tour) whilst in Costa Rica. We booked a few journeys for our holiday from San Jose to Manuel Antonio, La Fortuna back to San Jose and an airport pick up. From the moment we contacted Christian he was quick to respond, provided an efficient booking process, detailed informative answers to our endless questions, and overall we felt incredible safe on all our journeys. This is more than just a transfer you are booking, Christian pointed out lots of sights on our journey, took time to drive us around MA and pointed out great look out points, restaurants and bars. Originally we were going to self drive for our holiday but after the costs just seemed to be escalating we chose to go for private transfers and it was definitely the right decision.

I don’t have enough words to express how happy we are with this company. This is our second time we work with Drivers Costa-Rica and it couldn’t get any better. First time we hired them to drive us around some parts of Costa-Rica which could be a little complicated for us, two girls, to drive ourselves. I was a little hesitant to hire a private driver thinking it’s going to be to expensive and maybe it’s will be better just to rent the car. I am so glad I came to my senses and hired this company. It was worth every penny! The driver was very punctual, came in exact time every time he had to come pick us up (I still don’t know how they managed to do it providing the distances they were coming from to pick us up), very polite, knowledgeable, great English with easy communication. Took some beautiful stops along the way to enjoy the scenery which we would never take on our own. Also, he took us to some small local restaurants hidden away for some of the most delicious, fresh, authentic meals which we also would miss for sure. And finally - the price for the services was absolutely reasonable, they will not try to nickel and dime you.
Second time we ask them for help a few days ago when we needed to deliver the gift to one of our friends. We couldn’t do it ourselves since we are not in Costa Rica right now, so they would have to go buy the gift, flowers and the card. And then drive for a few hours to deliver it. Needless to say they again did a great job! We couldn’t do it better if we did it ourselves! It’s was a pleasure to work with such a reliable company and Christian personally!
Olga.

Highly recommend Christian and his drivers. We traveled with our two young adult children and couldn’t have been happier. We had three different legs of our trips, used them for all three. Each driver was polite, professional and very friendly. The vans were large and we could easily spread out and sleep. We even changed one pick up location and time slightly without any issues. Prices were very reasonable.

We used Costa Rica Drivers-Private Day Tour to go to and return from Puerto Viejo. Going down we had Christian and coming back we had Alex. Both drivers are in every way superb--punctual, polite, professional, accommodating, and extremely friendly and personable. Booking with them was easy and straightforward. Christian was very helpful above and beyond being our driver in advising us on the best place to get the Covid test required for our return flight. And both Christian and Alex were filled with wonderful information about Costa Rica that made the long drive from San José to Puerto Viejo and back seem much shorter than it in fact was.
I must say that this was one of the best transportation services we've ever had, anywhere, and I would recommend them with the highest praise and without reservation.

Costa Rica Drivers (especially Christian and Alex), drove me through a large part of the country. All transport from one destination to another was done by Christian and his drivers.
What can I say about this company, besides the fact that they are just very good at what they do! The prices are certainly challenging comparing them with other transport companies. All drivers were very punctual, flexible and trustworthy. Besides all of this, they drove careful and safe.
All drivers speak English, which was very helpful as I don’t speak Spanish. Along the route I had some really nice conversations.
Christian, helped me out a couple of times, making calls on my behalf to institutes in Costa Rica (Covid testing related), but also gave suggestions on what to do and where to go. He was mostly very easy to reach and a change in my schedule was never a problem to him.
So I can honestly say, that this transport and tour company is the very best! Would not hesitate to use their services again on my next visit to beautiful Costa Rica.

Thanks to Christian, who provided me with private driver service and an affordable and custom Costa Rica itinerary (city, rainforests, mountains, beach), I explored the main attractions in a week with no problems. Christian is on time, organized, easygoing, flexible, and can navigate easily around the country. He also speaks and understands good English. You will not be disappointed with Christian's service for individuals, couples, and small families.

We used this company for transfers from San Jose to La Fortuna, La Fortuna to Manuel Antontio, Manuel Antonio back to San Jose, and for a day trip to the Poas Volcano and La Paz Waterfall Gardens. We had several different drivers across all of those legs, but every one of them was on time, would point out interesting things we passed along the way, and was helpul for finding good rest stops. They also all played great music!
Choosing this company made our transport around Costa Rica completely stress free, and it was absolutely worth the price, which did not seem much higher than the group shuttle options we looked at.

We have been in Costa Rica six times and used several different driving services. Costa Rica drivers is the best company that there is for type of service. Christian And his company do an absolutely fantastic job.His vehicles are beautiful.Communication with Christian is easy and he is always prompt with a reply. Booking cannot be easier than this company. Drivers speak English,are punctual And always on time. Extras such as stopping at a grocery store, a view, or anything else is part of the package. We are returning to Costa Rica next year and the first thing I’m going to do is book Christian’s company for my travel needs.

The company was fantastic. Every driver, especially Alex, was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They picked us up at the SsnJose airport, took us to our hotel and next day, at the appointed time, took us safely to our next destination in Arenal, then to Monteverde and Manuel Antonio. Our flight back to the US was early so a driver picked us up at the crack of dawn in Manuel Antonio to take us to the airport. Reliable and highly recommended shuttle service.

I can't thank Christian Martinez enough for the wonderful job he did putting together our tour/travel adventures on only three days notice. I looked into several different services, but Christian's prices were by far the best. I told him the things and places we wanted to see and he made it happen. He was prompt and courteous in responding to all my emails. Our drivers, Alex Ramirez (3 days) and Karlay Maclay (1 day) were exceptional! They spoke fluent English and were as accommodating as can be. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the car together traveling the Costa Rican countryside with these men. Each day's adventures included a full meal along the way that we shared with our drivers who were more than happy to answer all our questions about living in Costa Rica. My husband, daughter and I felt safe, comfortable and respected throughout our time in their company. I can't say enough about the whole experience and would highly recommend them to anyone traveling to San Jose, Costa Rica or anywhere therein.

Hi, We are coming to Costa Rica arriving on March 24th and leaving April 4th, we are a family with two kids, heading to Limon from San Jose to work at a wildlife rescue then back to Manuel Antonio for the end of our trip. Hoping to stop along the way for some interesting experiences. I know it's a long trip to Jaguar Rescue Center. but hoping to find a driver and get some ideas for where to go to break up the long drive for the kids.

Hi, we are also coming for a family holiday for 9 days in April. We are 4 adults & wanted to hire a car with the driver who can take us around as we don’t want the hassle of parking etc. There are many reviews on Tripadvisor for Costa Rica cars but I can’t get in touch with the people who have used car&driver service so not sure how did they do it because Costa Rica drivers don’t seem to have option. Would be interested find out what did you do?

How much is a driver to get from San Jose to other popular destinations around Costa Rica?
Written December 4, 2017
You have to send them an email or call them and request a quote. We found them extremely reasonable, efficient and professional. It was a much better deal and a much nicer experience than for 7 of us on a tour.
