Uber Coverage is Spotty in Costa RicaĬovid related driving restrictions have made it very difficult to find Ubers outside of San Jose. It’s worth a try but tourists will usually need other transportation options. Uber will eventually be a standard method of transportation for tourists but for the moment it’s limited and can be inconvenient at best and dangerous at worst. Uber has been operating in San Jose since August of 2015 and expanded the service area for 2023.
Service area | violence | airport ban | other rides | best transportation | sample prices Sharing a ride with a friend is a great way to get around in Costa Rica but ride sharing apps are not so useful for most visitors Unlicensed private taxi services have never been permitted in Costa Rica but the government began taxation in July 2019 using the treasury to circumvent the need for legislation and making the ride shares de facto legal – the logic being even if there are laws against it, it can’t possibly be illegal if you’re taxing it…
Availability is back to the normal limited service area. NOTE: As of April 2022, the license plate based driving restrictions that were making it difficult/impossible to find an uber even in the city have been lifted.
