Our Story

From one van to
thousands of smiles

Eddy Jimenez, a Costa Rican native and lifelong nature lover, founded JM Ride with a simple belief: the best way to experience Costa Rica is with someone who genuinely loves it.

What started as weekend tours for expats grew into a full operation — 10+ curated packages, private charters, and transportation services connecting travelers to the heart of the country.

Today our team of certified guides and drivers carries forward that original spirit: curious, welcoming, and endlessly proud of this extraordinary land.
