San Jose Airport to Jaco Beach Private Shuttle

Your driver meets you at baggage claim with your name on a sign.

A private minivan transfer from San Jose airport to Jaco Beach with a bilingual driver who tracks your flight and meets you at customs. The route takes roughly 1 hour 40 minutes, with stops for lunch, groceries or a look at local fruit stands along the way. Up to six passengers travel together in an air-conditioned vehicle with bottled water and free Wi-Fi onboard.

The experience

Your driver holds a sign with your name at San Jose airport and waits while you clear customs. Once you're through, you head straight to a latest-model minivan with air conditioning, bottled water and Wi-Fi. The vehicle fits up to six passengers with their luggage, so a family or small group travels in one booking without splitting up. If your flight runs late or gets cancelled, you can contact the service and the driver adjusts to your actual arrival time.

The drive to Jaco Beach runs approximately 1 hour 40 minutes, but the route includes stops whenever you need them. You can pull over for lunch at a local restaurant, stretch your legs, grab groceries, or stop at a fruit stand to see what grows in the region. The driver speaks both English and Spanish, so questions about the area or requests along the way don't get lost in translation. Pets are allowed onboard, though additional charges may apply.

The fare covers the minivan, the driver, all taxes and handling, and door-to-door service from the airport to your hotel or accommodation in Jaco. Bottled water and Wi-Fi are included. Specialized infant car seats are available if you're traveling with small children. The exact travel time depends on traffic and the time of day you arrive, so the driver's real-time tracking of your flight means you're not waiting around once you land.
