The experience

The moment you clear baggage claim, look to the right: your driver will be holding a card with your name on it. No scanning a board, no calling a number, no hunting through a crowd of drivers. You walk straight to a clean, air-conditioned van or minibus, your luggage gets loaded, and you head directly to your hotel, house, condo or vacation rental. The driver speaks English and knows the route. Traffic and time of day will shift the arrival window, but the path is direct: no stops to collect other passengers, no detours to drop off a shared group.

The shuttle reaches any accommodation in Guanacaste: Tamarindo and Langosta, Monteverde, Arenal Volcano, Santa Teresa and Montezuma, Manuel Antonio, Playa Grande, Playa Conchal, Playa Flamingo, Playa Potrero, Playa Hermosa, Playa Panama, Ocotal, Playas del Coco, and the resort zones like JW Marriott, RIU Guanacaste, Andaz, Four Seasons, Planet Hollywood, and Dreams Las Mareas. Most destinations sit 1–2 hours from Liberia Airport, depending on where you're headed. The van is routinely sanitized and air-conditioned. Service animals travel with you.

Book by providing your drop-off location, flight number, and arrival time. You'll get an instant confirmation with your driver's details. When you land, head to baggage claim, collect your bags, and walk out. Your driver will be waiting.
