Question

What should I know before booking a taxi in Costa Rica?

Answer

The biggest piece of advice is to always make sure to only ride with registered Costa Rican taxi drivers. It is not unusual for several people to ask you at the airport if you need a taxi. Unfortunately, some of these people are not legal taxi drivers and will overcharge you. You can always recognize official Costa Rican taxis because they are all red vehicles with a yellow triangle on the roof, driver’s side door, and front passenger side door. This yellow triangle contains their official taxi number. (We also have a link to book a private or shared airport shuttle on our "Travel page")

Question

Question

Do I need to exchange my money?

Answer

No. Costa Rica accepts and uses the American dollar as currency. However, you may be given change in Costa Rican colones and will want to exchange or use them up before coming back to the US. We suggest letting your bank know that you will be traveling abroad so you can use your cards without being flagged while in Costa Rica.

Question

What time is it in Costa Rica?

Answer

Question
