Private Transportation & Luxury Chauffeur Service in Costa Rica

Private & Luxury Transportation Costa Rica

At The Baqueano, we provide private transportation in Costa Rica for travelers who expect more than just a ride. We specialize in premium airport transfers, long-distance travel, and private driver services, delivering seamless journeys across the country with precision, discretion, and care.

From San José Airport (SJO) & Liberia Guanacaste Airport (LIR) to destinations such as La Fortuna, Manuel Antonio, Monteverde, and Guanacaste, every service is designed around one principle:

Your experience should feel effortless from the moment you arrive.

This is not transportation. This is a curated travel experience.

A SERVICE BUILT ON EXPERIENCE, NOT PROMISES

The Baqueano was created to solve a problem many travelers face in Costa Rica:

Uncertainty.

Late arrivals.
Unclear communication.
Inconsistent vehicles.
Services that feel transactional instead of personal.

We set out to build something different—
A private transportation service where every detail is controlled, every expectation is met, and nothing is left to chance.

Our approach is simple:

Always private, never shared
Always on time, never rushed
Always professional, never improvised

Because when you travel, peace of mind is not optional—it is essential.

FOUNDER’S NOTE

My name is Charles Forbes, Founder and General Manager of The Baqueano.

From the beginning, my goal has been clear:

To create a service that I would personally trust for my own family, clients, and closest connections.

In an industry where inconsistency is common, we chose a different path—one defined by precision, reliability, and accountability.

I personally oversee communications and service coordination to ensure that every journey reflects the standards we stand for.

Because at this level, it’s not about transportation.

It’s about trust.

NOT FOR EVERYONE — AND THAT’S INTENTIONAL

We are the right choice for travelers who value:

Reliability
Comfort
Safety
