What is a private transfer?

A private transfer is a door-to-door service exclusively for your group. No shared vehicles, no fixed stops for other passengers. The driver picks you up at your hotel, accommodation, or airport and takes you directly to your destination.

Who is it for?

Families with children or elderly travelers
Groups that value flexibility and comfort
Travelers arriving or departing from SJO or LIR airports
Anyone who prefers not to share a vehicle with strangers

How is it different from a shared shuttle?

Shared shuttles operate on fixed schedules and pick up multiple travelers along the route. Private transfers depart when you’re ready and go directly to your destination. The price is per vehicle, not per person.

Tips

Book at least 48 hours in advance, especially during high season (December–April).
For airport pickups, share your flight number so the driver can track delays.
If your group has more than 6 people, ask about larger vehicle options.
