Private Transfer Juan Santamaria Airport to La Fortuna

A driver holding your name meets you at baggage claim, and you're in an air-conditioned van heading to La Fortuna within minutes.

A private transfer from Juan Santamaria Airport to the La Fortuna area seats up to six passengers in one air-conditioned vehicle with onboard WiFi and bottled water included. Your driver arrives 15 minutes after your flight lands, holding a sign with your name, and you can stop en route at restaurants, viewpoints or restrooms as needed. The journey takes three to four hours.

The experience

Your driver will be waiting at baggage claim 15 minutes after your flight touches down, holding a sign with your name. You share the vehicle with up to five other passengers, and the air conditioning and WiFi keep the three- to four-hour drive to La Fortuna comfortable. Bottled water is provided, and you can ask the driver to stop anywhere along the route (a restaurant for lunch, a scenic overlook, a restroom break) without extra charge or time pressure.

Let the operator know your flight details and arrival time when you book, and confirm any special needs like an infant seat in advance. The driver knows the route well and can answer questions about where to go and what to do once you arrive in La Fortuna. You tell them your exact drop-off point (your hotel, a rental car office, a specific address), and they take you there directly.

Top questions

How does the driver know when I've landed if my flight is delayed?

Share your flight number and arrival time when you book. The driver tracks your flight and adjusts the pickup time if there's a delay, so you won't wait at the airport or have the driver arrive too early.

Can I stop for lunch on the way to La Fortuna?

Yes. You can ask the driver to stop at any restaurant or viewpoint along the route. There's no extra charge or time limit on stops, so you can eat at your own pace and still reach La Fortuna the same day.

What if I'm traveling with an infant or small child?

Specialized infant seats are available. Let the operator know when you book that you need one, and they'll have it installed in the vehicle before pickup.

Does the van have WiFi the whole way?

WiFi is available onboard throughout the transfer, so you can stay connected, check messages or look up information about La Fortuna during the drive.
