hi there,

I just wanted to share some advice regarding hiring taxis in Costa Rica.

Most taxi drivers in Costa Rica are good and trustworthy people but make sure to only use legal red taxis and tourism vans as they are the only ones that are insured to carry paying passengers, and also if the police pull the taxi over, you'll be stuck in the middle of no where as the driver can't go on.

Also, make sure the driver turns the Maria-Meter on.

Hope this helps

well if you are not comfortable in just riding any taxi in the area then you can always request for a car hire or just drive yourself by renting your own car. You can always ask in the airport or in your hotel to get the taxi for you if you don't want the first two choices
