What is the cost of one of those red cabs from the airport to the gulch?

Whatever you agree on, or what the meter says (if you go with the meter). Personally, if I were to take one, I would offer ¢5,000 to one that's dropping a pasenger off. They get nothing if they go back to San Jose vacant. The metered fare is probably around ¢10,000, depending on traffic.

Last time i was there(oct.) I paid $22 at the window to go to the del rey.

When I was there in April, I paid $25 to go th SL. The exchange rate at that time was around 525 colones/$.

I was down at the end of June and they said they wouldn't let you pay a flat fare at the window. You had to go on the meter. I got in the cab at 5:30 Friday afternoon and because of traffic, it was $28 to Amistad.

That's why a flat rate before you get in the cab is better. You will be surprised how many short cuts the taxistas find when there is traffic and NOT on the meter
