How Private Transportation Works
Private transportation reserves the service for your party. Passengers from unrelated bookings are not added to the vehicle.
You provide a preferred departure time instead of selecting a fixed shared-shuttle schedule. The transportation team then reviews availability, locations, passenger requirements and luggage before confirming the reservation.
The service is planned around the approved origin and destination submitted with the booking. Any requested stop, additional pickup or itinerary change must be disclosed in advance and is included only when confirmed in writing.
Travelers considering other destinations can review the available transportation routes from Limón.
Confirming the Limón Pickup Location
“Limón” may refer to Limón city or more broadly to the province. These are not interchangeable service locations.
Provide the complete name and address of the requested hotel, residence, vacation rental, transportation terminal or meeting point. If the trip begins after a flight, cruise, bus journey or another transportation service, include the relevant arrival information with your request.
Airport, port, terminal or restricted-property access should not be assumed. The transportation team must confirm the permitted meeting location and pickup instructions before payment.
If the vehicle cannot reach the requested entrance, another meeting point may be assigned. Review that point carefully and ensure every passenger can reach it with their luggage at the confirmed time.
Drop-Off in Puerto Viejo
The reservation must identify Puerto Viejo de Talamanca and the complete destination property.
Puerto Viejo town and the surrounding southern Caribbean area include accommodations in different communities. Properties promoted as being near Puerto Viejo may be located outside the town center or outside the standard service coverage.
Provide the full hotel, hostel, villa, residence or vacation-rental name, along with an address or map location when available. The team will confirm whether direct access is possible or whether another meeting point or transportation arrangement applies.
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca should not be confused with Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí, which is a different destination.
Travelers selecting an accommodation can consult the Puerto Viejo Caribbean guide.
Departure Flexibility
Private transportation allows you to request a departure based on your travel plans. Daytime, evening and overnight requests can be considered, subject to vehicle and driver availability.
Your pickup time is confirmed only when it appears in the reservation details. Do not rely on a requested time until the team has approved it.
When coordinating with another arrival, allow sufficient time for baggage collection, entry procedures, terminal movement or other possible delays. Waiting conditions and arrival monitoring apply only when specifically confirmed.
What to Expect During the Journey
The vehicle is reserved for the passengers listed in your booking and travels according to the confirmed transportation plan.
Traffic, weather, road conditions and the exact pickup and drop-off locations may affect the journey. No route-specific duration is stated on this page, and an estimated arrival should not be treated as a guaranteed appointment time.
Keep passports, medication, valuables and essential travel documents in an accessible personal bag.
If your party needs a meal, restroom or other planned stop, request it before payment. The team must confirm whether the stop can be incorporated and whether it changes the schedule or fare.
Passenger and Luggage Requirements
Provide an accurate passenger count, including every child traveling in the vehicle. Child-seat requests must be submitted in advance and remain subject to availability and confirmation.
List the number and approximate size of all bags. The appropriate transportation arrangement depends on the combined passenger and luggage requirements.
Declare special items such as:
Surfboards
Bicycles
Wheelchairs
Strollers
Oversized suitcases
Musical instruments
Sports equipment
Other bulky or fragile items
Special equipment is accepted only after storage capacity and transportation conditions have been confirmed. A different vehicle, service arrangement or fare may be necessary.
Who May Prefer Private Transportation?
Private transportation may suit travelers who:
Want the vehicle reserved exclusively for their party
Need to request a specific departure time
Are coordinating with another arrival or departure
Are traveling as a family or group
Have luggage requiring advance review
Need a pickup or destination that must be evaluated individually
Prefer not to travel with passengers from other reservations
Suitability depends on confirmed availability, locations, passenger requirements and luggage—not only on the number of travelers.
Private Transportation or Shared Shuttle?
Private transportation reserves the vehicle for one party and allows passengers to request a preferred departure time.
A shared shuttle follows an established schedule, is priced per passenger and may carry travelers from several reservations. Pickup areas, destination coverage and luggage conditions may also differ.
A shared shuttle may be considered when an available departure matches the traveler’s itinerary. Private transportation may be more appropriate when exclusive vehicle use or flexible timing is important.
Availability and the final conditions of either option should be compared before payment.
Return Transportation to Limón
Return transportation is not automatically included in a one-way reservation.

This was one of those smaller transfers that ended up setting the tone for the rest of the trip. We left Limón in the morning and headed to Puerto Viejo for a few beach days, and I remember feeling a bit worn out already because our previous travel day had been long. My husband handled the bigger bags while I sat there with a coffee trying to wake up properly. What I liked most was how uncomplicated everything felt. The route is shorter than many cross-country journeys in Costa Rica, but that was exactly why I wanted it to go smoothly, and it did. You still get that Caribbean roadside atmosphere the whole way, which made the ride feel pleasant rather than just functional. For a shuttle service Costa Rica booking, it felt natural and comfortable without trying too hard.
I chose this because we were arriving in Limón and wanted to go straight to Puerto Viejo without waiting around or figuring out extra steps. It is not a very long transfer, but my sister was traveling with me and she gets impatient fast on logistics-heavy days. The pickup was punctual, the vehicle was comfortable, and it was nice to just settle in while the weather was already getting hot outside. Since the road along this stretch is fairly straightforward, the journey felt relaxed the whole way. As transportation in Costa Rica goes, this was smooth and well worth it for the convenience alone.
We booked this from Limón to Puerto Viejo after getting in with too much luggage and very little energy. I was tired and already feeling the heat, so having a cool, direct ride helped a lot. My partner had two large suitcases and a surf bag, and everything fit without any issue. For a private transfer Costa Rica option, it felt easy, quiet, and perfect for a short coastal trip.
