Airport to La Fortuna Transfer: Private Van for 11–15 Passengers

One van, one driver, your whole group, from the airport straight to La Fortuna

A private minivan transfer from Juan Santamaria International Airport to La Fortuna de San Carlos for 11 to 15 passengers, with hotel drop-off and a bilingual Costa Rican driver. The van is air-conditioned and includes one hour of free wait time for photos, meals or breaks. Your group travels together without stops or shared pickups.

The experience

Groups of 11 to 15 travel in a single air-conditioned minivan with a bilingual driver who knows the route and speaks English and Spanish. The van leaves the airport when your group is ready, heads directly to your La Fortuna hotel, and includes one hour of free wait time along the way: enough to stop for a meal, use a restroom, or take photos without the meter running. No shared shuttles, no other passengers, no schedule but yours.

The driver is a Costa Rican professional trained for reliability and punctuality. Wi-Fi is available inside the van, and the minibus is maintained to handle the drive comfortably. Hotel drop-off is included, so the van takes you all the way to your accommodation rather than leaving you at a central point. Airport pickup is part of the booking. The driver meets your group at Juan Santamaria and loads your luggage.
