01
Pick the town
Start with a place you can cover every hour. The list below is where we want to go next.
Franchise · Costa Rica
Bring the hourly loop to your town.
Zipy Shuttle is a short ride, every hour, out and back. Manuel Antonio is first: the top of Punta Quepos Road to Playa Biesanz. A franchise is how that same loop opens in the next town.

Not a job, and not a promised income. Terms are written after we talk.
How a franchise works
Same shuttle. A new road.
02
Shape the loop
A short trip, out and back. Like the Quepos road to Playa Biesanz. Not a ride to the marina.
03
Local businesses join
Hotels, rentals, restaurants, and shops sponsor the ride. Guests see them on the shuttle.
04
You run the hour
The vehicle leaves on the hour. Zipy keeps the brand, the partner page, and the guest offer.
Two ways in
Route operator or town partner.
Most people are one of these. A few towns need both.
Route operator
You have the shuttle
You run the vehicle on an agreed hourly loop.
- Your shuttle, driver, insurance, and permits
- On-time departures, every hour
- Short trips only, then straight back
- The Zipy mark on the ride guests already recognize
Town partner
You know the road
You open the town: the businesses, the loop, the local relationships.
- Hotels, rentals, shops, and restaurants
- Help choose a loop people will actually ride
- Introduce the shuttle to neighbors on the road
- A territory only if the agreement says so
Who does what
You run the ride. We run the network.
You
- The vehicle and a driver who knows the road
- Leaving every hour, and coming straight back
- Local permits and a roadworthy shuttle
- A friendly stop for guests, teams, and neighbors
Zipy Shuttle
- The name, the sloth mark, and the orange and green
- The partner page, where businesses subscribe
- Guest offers, QR placement, and the monthly scan report
- WhatsApp support at +506 8732 9420
On the first road, founding partners subscribe at $100, $225, or $300 a month. A new town uses that same idea. The franchise share is agreed in writing. Nothing here is a guaranteed return.
Where next
Eight towns. One loop shape.
Manuel Antonio is the proof. These are the places we want a partner to open next. Tap a town to enquire.
Running now
Top of Punta Quepos Road to Playa Biesanz, every hour.
Quick answers
Is this employment?+
No. You operate your own business. Zipy is the brand and the partner network.
Do I need a shuttle on day one?+
A route operator does. A town partner can start with the businesses and the loop, then line up the vehicle.
Is the town exclusive?+
Only if the agreement says so, and only while the hourly loop is actually running.
Are earnings guaranteed?+
No. Riders and sponsors depend on the road, the hour, and the businesses that join.
What does the ride do?+
Short trips, every hour, and straight back. The Manuel Antonio loop does not go to the marina. A new town should stay that simple.
