Private Transfer San Jose Airport to Santa Teresa Beach

Skip the taxi line and ride in your own air-conditioned minibus with a driver who waits for flight delays

A private transfer from San Jose Airport to Santa Teresa Beach in a modern air-conditioned minibus for your group only, with a driver holding a nameplate at baggage claim. The vehicle seats up to ten passengers with luggage space; the driver stops for photos, meals or restrooms on request; flight delays incur no extra charge; bottled water is included for each passenger.

The experience

The driver meets you at San Jose Airport holding a sign with your name, so you skip the taxi queue and walk straight to a modern minibus equipped with air conditioning and room for luggage. The vehicle is yours alone: no other passengers, no shared stops. The price covers fuel, insurance, parking and road tolls, so there are no surprises at the end of the ride.

The route from San Jose to Santa Teresa takes four to five hours. Along the way, the driver stops whenever you ask: a restaurant for lunch, a viewpoint for photos, a bathroom break, a roadside shop. You set the pace. If your flight lands late, the driver waits at no extra cost. Just notify the operator of the delay and they handle it.

Each passenger gets a bottle of water. The driver speaks English or Spanish. Infant seats are available if you're traveling with small children, and the vehicle is wheelchair accessible.

Is this one for you?Choose the round-trip option if you want both your arrival and departure transfers booked in one go. Book one-way if you're unsure about your return date or prefer to arrange it separately later. Groups of up to ten travel together in the same vehicle, so a family or small group pays one price regardless of headcount.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Spanish.

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What happens if my flight is delayed and I arrive later than expected?

The driver waits at the airport at no additional charge. Contact the operator with your new arrival time and they adjust the pickup accordingly.

Can the driver stop along the way to Santa Teresa?

Yes. The driver stops whenever you ask, for meals, photos, restrooms or shopping. The stops are built into your time, not added on top of it.

How many people can fit in the minibus with luggage?

The minibus seats up to ten passengers with plenty of space for bags and backpacks. The price is per vehicle, not per person, so a family of four pays the same as a solo traveler booking the same option.

What's included in the transfer price?

Fuel, insurance, parking, road tolls, air conditioning, bottled water for each passenger and the driver's service are all included. No hidden fees.

Do I need to arrange a return transfer to the airport?

The round-trip option includes both the arrival transfer and the return to San Jose Airport. If you book one-way only, you can arrange the return separately later.
