Travelling safely with Blink
Drivers picked by a traveller
Blink's owner is a foreigner here too, and chose every driver personally — for how they drive, and how they treat visitors.
English-speaking drivers
The driver and the WhatsApp line both speak English — no negotiating in a language you do not have.
Everything in writing
Price, pickup and drop-off agreed on WhatsApp before you travel. The thread is your record of who, when and how much.
Door to door
Picked up at your reception, dropped at the next one. No bus terminal at the edge of town, no roadside handovers.
Bags signed over, not dropped off
Luggage is handed to reception against your name, and you get a message the moment it is there.
Questions travellers ask
How is the price worked out?
Per car, not per person, from our published fare for the route. The whole car shares one price, and it is confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you travel.
How do I pay?
Pay the driver in US dollars or córdobas. Nothing is charged on this website.
What if my flight is late?
Send the flight number with the booking. We follow the flight and move the pickup to when you actually land.
Can I bring surfboards and a lot of luggage?
Yes. The cars have roof racks for boards and room in the boot for bags. Tell us how many of each so we send a car that fits.
Can you move just my luggage?
Yes. Choose "Just my luggage": bags are collected from reception and handed over at the next one against your name, and you get a message when they arrive.
Do you cross into Costa Rica?
Liberia airport and San José are on the list, with the Peñas Blancas crossing included in the trip. How long the border takes is not ours to promise, so allow time.
