A driver holding your name, waiting in arrivals

Private transfer from San Jose Airport to Playa Santa Teresa in a modern air-conditioned minibus for your group, with fuel, insurance and road tolls included.

The experience

The driver will be in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name on it. Once you meet, you head straight to the minibus: no waiting for a shuttle or sharing a van with other passengers. The vehicle is modern, fully air-conditioned and has plenty of space for luggage. Fuel, insurance, parking and all road tolls are already included in the price, so there are no surprise charges at the end of the ride.

The journey from San Jose Airport to Santa Teresa takes four to five hours. Along the way, the driver can stop whenever you need one: a restaurant for a meal, a bathroom break, a viewpoint for photos, or anywhere else you'd like to pause. Bottled water is provided for each passenger. If your flight arrives late, just notify the driver and he'll be waiting. There's no additional charge for the delay.

The service runs 24/7 at the airport. Drivers are experienced and speak English and Spanish. Children from age two are welcome, and the vehicle is wheelchair accessible. If you're traveling with a wheelchair passenger, note it in your reservation comments. Service animals are allowed, and specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with very young children.
