Private Transfer San Jose Airport to Puerto Viejo, Limon

Your driver meets you at the gate and handles the route while you settle in.

A private transfer from San Jose International Airport to Puerto Viejo, Limon on the Caribbean coast, with your own vehicle and driver for your group. The driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name, and the modern air-conditioned minibus includes bottled water for each passenger. Round-trip service is available as a separate booking option.

The experience

You land at San Jose airport and walk into arrivals to find your driver waiting with your name on a sign. From there, the five-hour drive to Puerto Viejo is yours alone: no shared van, no other stops unless you ask for them. The minibus is air-conditioned with plenty of space for luggage, and the driver can pull over whenever you want: a restaurant, a bathroom break, a viewpoint to photograph the landscape. Fuel, insurance, tolls and parking are all included in the price, so there are no surprises at the end.

If your flight lands late, the driver stays. There's no extra charge for the wait, and no need to message frantically about delays. Just let the company know when you book or if plans change. The driver speaks English or Spanish, and a bottle of water comes with every seat. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available if you need one. Just note it when you reserve. Infants from age two are welcome, and specialized car seats can be arranged.

Round-trip service works the same way on the return: book it separately and the driver will collect you from your Puerto Viejo hotel at whatever time your flight requires, handling the drive back to San Jose airport. The company operates 24/7 at the airport, so early morning and late-night departures are no problem.
