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.

Arenal (La Fortuna) to Rio Celeste Shuttle Reviews

Shuttle from La Fortuna La Fortuna Shuttle to Rio Celeste

Traveling from La Fortuna to Rio Celeste was very easy. I booked online via MonteTours Costa Rica, and they picked me up in La Fortuna and took me to Rio Celeste in about 1.5 hours. Highly recommend it.

Affordable Transportation La Fortuna to Rio Celeste

Traveling from La Fortuna to Rio Celeste on a shuttle is the best way to go. I made a mistake and came into La Fortuna 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.

– Andrea Fjeldheim
Excellent Shuttle! Arenal to Rio Celeste

The shuttle picked me up at Selina La Fortuna around 7 am, and I arrived in Rio Celeste past 8 AM. I did not have to worry about renting a car and driving on the narrow and crazy road to Rio Celeste. I highly recommend it.
