I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info.

TAXI RATES • TAXI FARE INCREASES in Costa Rica (April 2012)

LATEST INCREASE:LivingLifeInCostaRica.blogspot.com/2013/09/TaxiRateIncreaseSept13.html

If there is anything as equally certain as death and taxes, it is that taxi fares will continue to increase along with the price of petroleum.

The Autoridad Reguladora de los Servicios Públicos, as expected, announced higher fares Wednesday based on salaries, the rate of exchange with the dollar and the cost of fuel as reported March 28.

The increase is 1.92% for regular taxis and 1.95% for orange airport vehicles at Juan Santamaría airport.

For customers, this means an increase of 15 colons, about 3 U.S. cents, for the first kilometer, from the current 570 to 585 (about $1.15 the 1st km). Subsequent kilometers or a part thereof will be billed at 580 colons, 10 colons or 2 U.S. cents more.

The AIRPORT RATE (the orange airport vehicles) is going from 835 for the first kilometers to 850-c (about $1.70 the 1st km).
