3 apps1 essential

Uber

Essential

The dominant ride-hailing app in Costa Rica, with solid coverage across San José, the Central Valley, Liberia, and popular tourist towns.

Pro tip: Always confirm your driver's plate number before getting in . unlicensed taxis sometimes pose as Uber drivers near airports.

DiDi

Nice to have

Chinese ride-hailing giant that often undercuts Uber on price in the Central Valley. Good backup when Uber surge pricing kicks in.

inDrive

Nice to have

Fare-negotiation app where you set your price and nearby drivers accept or counter. Useful in smaller towns where Uber has no coverage.
