Taking Taxis

Taxis in Costa Rica are inexpensive, prevalent and convenient. For many tourists, taking taxis may be less costly than renting a vehicle. Official taxis cost about $1.15 per kilometer ($1.80 per mile), and for this price you'll save yourself the cost of a rental, insurance and gas. If you plan to take many tours – most include transportation – and don't mind walking to town for meals, shopping and other excursions, taxis will keep cash in your pocket.
