Questions travellers ask us
- How much is the private transfer?
- $400 USD flat per vehicle, either direction — San José Airport to Santa Teresa or Santa Teresa back to San José. Seats up to 4 passengers, no per-person charges, no hidden fees.
- How long does the drive take?
- Roughly five to six hours door-to-door, depending on traffic and whether the route runs via the Puntarenas–Paquera ferry or around the Gulf of Nicoya by road. Your driver picks whichever is moving better that day.
- Can I book for today?
- We don't take same-day bookings online — your driver needs to be scheduled the day before. If you're travelling today, message us on WhatsApp and we'll try to make it happen.
- What happens if my flight is delayed?
- Add your flight number when you book and your driver tracks it. Landing late is not your problem — your driver waits at arrivals.
- Where exactly do I get picked up?
- Your choice: inside the SJO arrivals hall with your name on a sign, or at the door of your hotel in San José or Alajuela. Leaving Santa Teresa: at your hotel or villa door. Drop-off works the same way in reverse.
- How many passengers fit?
- Up to 4 passengers per vehicle at the flat $400 rate. Travelling with a bigger group? Message us on WhatsApp and we'll arrange a second vehicle.
- Is there room for surfboards and extra luggage?
- Yes. The vehicle is yours, so boards and extra bags come along — no airline weight limits, no board fees.
- Is my booking really confirmed straight away?
- Yes. You get an instant confirmation on screen and by email, and we message you on WhatsApp before your travel date with your driver's name and contact.
- How do I book the return trip too?
- Book each direction separately with its own date and time — that way each leg has its own confirmed driver.
