Although private transportation is the most expensive means of transport in Costa Rica they provide complete peace of mind. You don't have to worry about directions, road conditions or potentially expensive dents, scratches and break-ins if using a rental car.
Private Transfers can meet you at the arrivals gate of San Jose International Airport, your hotel in San Jose or other location at the time you specify.
Shuttle Transportation
Shuttle transportation is a cheaper alternative to a private transfer as it is a shared transportation. Shuttles pick up at specific times in the day, usually either once or twice daily. Rates are per person and if you are a larger group you will often be better off with a private transfer. For one or two people traveling a shuttle transfer will usually be your best option.
