FAQs

What happens if I’m delayed?

As our shuttles operate on a shared-economy basis, we must adhere to a strict schedule to accommodate all passengers. Unfortunately, this means we cannot wait for late arrivals. If you miss your pickup time, you have two options:

  1. Upgrade to a Private Car Service: Contact us immediately to arrange an upgrade to a private car service, which will pick you up and take you to your destination for an additional fee.
  2. No-Show Policy: If you are unable to arrange an upgrade, you will be considered a “no-show” and will not be eligible for a refund.

We recommend planning your arrival with ample time to ensure you do not miss your scheduled pickup.

Can I bring extra luggage or sports equipment?

Yes, additional items are allowed for an extra fee of $20 each. Please specify in the “comments” section during booking.

Group Shuttle from Santa Teresa to Arenal (La Fortuna) Reviews

Shuttle from Santa Teresa Santa Teresa to La Fortuna

Traveling from Santa Teresa to La Fortuna was very easy. I booked online via MonteTours Costa Rica, and they picked me up in Santa Teresa and took me to La Fortuna in about 6 hours. We stopped along the way to use the restrooms. Highly recommend it.

Excellent Shuttle! Santa Teresa Transportation

The shuttle picked me up at Santa Teresa around 7 am, and I arrived in La Fortuna past 1 pm. I did not have to worry about renting a car and driving on the narrow and crazy road to La Fortuna. I highly recommend it.

– Caitlin McNulty
Affordable Transportation Santa Teresa to Arenal

Traveling from Santa Teresa to Arenal on a shuttle is the best way to go. I made a mistake and came into Santa Teresa via the San Jose Public Bus. It was hot, hectic, busy, noisy, and not clean. Don't use the bus unless you can't afford the shuttle.
