Can anyone recommend a good, reliable private driver in Costa Rica?

Question

My girlfriend and I are going to be needing transportation around the Nicoyo peninsula. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable private driver in Costa Rica? We are looking for a English speaking, very friendly driver with a nice 4x4 with AC. 4x4 will defiantly be needed for the Nicoya Peninsula. We will be going from Brasilito to Playa San Miguel/Playa Coyote.

A few days later, we will be going from Playa Coyote to Montezuma.

Thanks!

Answer 1

This is probably the man you are looking for.

I plan on using him again when I go to Costa Rica in June.

You can e-mail him at:

[e-mail]

Tell him that Paul B from Indian Rocks Beach, Florida - the "Ivory Ring Maker" sent you his e-mail address.

Totally Honest, dependable, inexpensive, fantastic personality, and a Gentleman to Boot!

Buena Suerte

y Viva La Pura Vida!

Answer 2

Check out www.ticotimes.com.  That is your best bet for finding a good private driver.  I have a guy in San Jose who is a taxi driver that I use, but he only does local stuff, nothing out furthur.  So try the Tico Times.

Have fun!!!!!

Answer 3

It would be better to give you a culture lesson to answer this question.  If you asked a group of Ticos, who is a good, reliable private driver in Costa Rica, every single person in the group would raise their hand..... good luck.. Try Jose, ask around for Jose...he is a good driver....

Answer 4

Hi Michael,

We several good drivers, but we use vans. I know there are a few reliable 4x4 drivers around. Try the Tico Times classifieds and as for references: ticotimes.net.

Send me your travel dates just in case I can recommend someone. It will probably cost upwards $100/day plus meals and lodging expenses.

Good luck,

Carlos
