Welcome to Costa Rica!

When you arrive at the airport, our driver will be waiting for you with a sign in his hand, and will take you to your first accommodation. If you arrive early in the morning and would like to check into your room early, we will be happy to arrange this for the corresponding additional charge of one night. The regular check-in time starts around 14:00. Juan Santamaría Airport (SJO) is located in Alajuela, in close proximity to the capital San José.

Drivers keep an eye on the arrival time and you will be picked up at the airport even in the event of delays, provided that this is compatible with the driver's subsequent transfers. In the case of slight delays, there may be an additional cost for exceeding the 2-hour waiting time, which must be paid directly to the driver. If the flight is diverted or the flight is delayed over an hour after the scheduled arrival time, the driver may not be able to wait, and a new transfer must be paid for.
