Seeking Driver for trip from SJO to Manuel Antonio

Three drivers answered my email. They all quoted different prices. Leo Rodriguez asked $170, Juan Carlos asked $160 and Alberto Artavia asked $130. Which one would you recommend. They all sound very nice from their emails.

You should ask to see pics of their cars. I used Juan Carlos and his car was extremely comfortable and spacious. That may also be the difference in their rates.

Juan Carlos drove us from San Jose to Manuel Antonio. He is a great guy and has a wealth of knowledge to share. Without even asking, he helped negotiate down the price of some souvenirs at stop along the way.

Sorry, not that it really matters, Juan Carlos drove us from MA to San Jose.

I would rec Alberto, only as I have used him before! He is great fun, speaks good english and is very easy-going. His van is nice & clean and a big plus for me is he's always very punctual. I've always found his rates to be very competitive.

AMATTHE,

My family is going to CA in December and I am considering a driver. Would you be able to provide me with your contact information for each of these drivers? Also, Have you taken your trip already. If so, how was your driver?

Thanks,
Patti

I know you didn't ask for yet another driver, but I can't help but put in a plug for the driver we hired back in April to take us from SJO to MA.

His name is Manuel Acuña, and he can be reached at 506-8-332-8726 or [email protected].

He is super reliable, very nice, and it was a pleasure to ride with him. He brought us both ways, and was there when he said he'd be, no problems. Speaks English very fluently.

Oh, and he gave us the best price.
