We depart Arenal and La Fortuna at your desired time (ideally between 8 am and 5 pm), arriving in Monteverde about 3.5 hours later. 

Should you need to travel outside our regular pickup times, let us know in your online reservation form, and we will happily accommodate for a fair extra fee to be determined depending on the pickup time of your choice.

Note: Some lodges claim they are in Arenal or La Fortuna, but they’re much further from Arenal’s or La Fortuna’s town. We can only provide our service if your lodging is reasonably far from Arenal or La Fortuna. Thus, our service includes all the lodges in a 5-kilometer (3-mile) radius around Arenal and La Fortuna’s towns. However, if your accommodation is outside this area, let us know in your online reservation form, and we will also accommodate at an extra surcharge. 

Private Car Service Prices

Our Private Car Service offers a reasonable transportation solution for travelers from Arenal and La Fortuna to Monteverde. We keep our rates relatively low compared to Uber and Taxi cars. Unlike these entities, we have fixed prices.

On the one hand, Uber’s pricing can drastically increase depending on the market demand for a given day, making it hard to predict how much you will have to budget for the trip. Besides, Uber is illegal in Costa Rica. You can ride Ubers, but if the police stop your car for inspection (which they often do), you risk losing your ride and your money. 

On the other hand, Taxi drivers usually charge you for both ways, from San Jose to Monteverde and then from Monteverde back to San Jose, even when you’re only traveling one way.

Our pricing structure is much more straightforward.

Depending on the number of travelers, their age, and the time of the year, our Private Car Service price is $250 to $300 from Arenal and La Fortuna to Monteverde. Our rates include the entire ride, a stop along the way, and piece of luggage, and a carry-on per passenger. Your bag will travel inside the shuttle, while your luggage may need to go in the car’s outside area.

Extra items: For additional luggage or a surfboard (up to 6 feet long max), the extra charge is $15 apiece. If you have to carry one of these items, you will need to pay the additional cost to the driver in cash at the pickup time unless you let us know in advance so we can add it to your online bill. 

Private Car Service Capacity

Our Private Car Service’s maximum capacity is up to 22 passengers. We have regular-size and big Vans depending on your group size. During the high season, we have multiple shuttles running on any given day from December through April.

However, regardless of how many shuttles we operate on your service day, your family will always travel in the same shuttle. Nonetheless, booking in advance during those times is vital for us to arrange the logistics and reserve your seats.
