While obviously not the cheapest way to get around or move between intercity destinations, a taxi trip is a great way for those who do not like restrictions of fixed schedules and routes. With taxis offering convenient and customized door-to-door service, it is easy to tailor-make your trip by adding the extras you need – for example, a car seat. Normally you can choose a car of a certain class or a bigger vehicle to accommodate your party. To ensure you will get the best service, do negotiate in advance if you need to call several places enroute or make additional stops for meals or sightseeing.
RideCR operates a fleet of taxis that can be easily booked online. Before you go, read other travellers’ reviews – they will help understand what to expect from your ride.

RideCR Top Destinations
The nice thing about taxis is that they do not follow the fixed routes but bring you wherever you need to go. Yet according to the operator statistics, many travellers order RideCR’s taxis to travel the following routes:
RideCR’s fleet consists of cars of different classes and sizes. Choose the one which suits you best and meets your requirements for comfort and the number of passengers. It pays to check rates for all classes the operator offers as sometimes the difference between standard and comfort classes is insignificant, yet if you opt for a higher class, you can travel with much more convenience, legroom, and luggage space just paying extra very little. It is especially true for
vans as often there are good discounts on these vehicles which allow you to enjoy a more comfortable ride.
Travel by Taxi: Pros & Cons
Pros of Taxi Travel
Travelling by taxi allows you to avoid crowded bus terminals
and train stations and keep social distancing which is a good point for those on alert to the pandemic challenges.
With a taxi, you have complete flexibility – depart when it is more convenient for you, plan enroute stops for rest or meals, and choose the route you want – not necessarily the shortest one. Yet do remember that it is better to discuss all these points with the operator before your trip to
allow them to calculate the cost which will include all add-ons. Otherwise, the final bill can be an unpleasant surprise.
Taxis can bring you to destinations that are not served by any other means of public transport. The most remote villages and locations where no buses or trains bring you can be reached by taxi. The good point is to remember that it is sometimes pays to book a round trip to and from such destinations as it can be challenging to find return transport without prior booking.
Cons of Taxi Travel
Cost is the major drawback of a taxi ride. You will definitely end up paying more for a taxi than for a bus or train journey, but it is quite natural that private service does come at a price, so be ready to shell out.
Also be ready to pay more for any detours or extra stops not included into the calculation of your fare. Normally the price shown in search results is the net price for the ride from point A to B. To avoid disappointment, remember to mention all your requirements to the trip before you book. Otherwise, your car may be assigned for the next trip, and the driver will not be able to follow your immediate requests.
Music or just talkative taxi drivers can be a problem – politely insist on switching off the music if you do not feel like listening to it and do not hesitate to tell the driver you are not inclined to keep up the conversation.
Taxi drivers are notorious for their love to use strange routes or minor roads which – as
they may think – allow them to beat traffic jams or escape bad roads. If you follow your trip route on Google Maps, it can be quite disturbing to see you deviate from Google’s recommendations.

Pick up was even a few minutes early and our driver was great! He helped carrying the luggage, welcomed everyone, told us he could stop whenever we need it and the approximate time of our arrival. Sounds just normal but I have never experienced that before. Thanks, that was a nice shuttle!

Very nice! It is worth to pay more than the bus to have someone pick you up and drop you off anywhere you want and you have AC! My sister and I felt safe all the way!

The departure was on time, Bus ok, driver w/o English. Transport time was estimated with 1:45h from La Fortuna - San Jose, in reality 3:45h. The reason therefor are not calculated breaks and crazy routing. All together for 35$ and Costa Rika circumstances - OK
