You have spent months planning your upcoming trip to Costa Rica. You have saved your money, convinced your friends to join you on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, found the most suitable accommodation, and planned your itinerary to the T. The last thing you would want is for anything to ruin the holiday you have been dreaming about forever. That is why it is key to think through every single detail and consider even aspects others forget. One of the most commonly overlooked details is airport transportation, which can pretty quickly turn the start of your journey into moments of pure horror.
Just imagine landing after a very long flight, stepping out of customs, and being surrounded by a river of people who want the same: to find some type of transportation. Last year, almost three million people visited Costa Rica, so you can only imagine how busy and hectic the country’s biggest airports can get. All of a sudden, you find yourself with heavy bags in your hands, without any idea how to reach your final destination, which can be hours away. Many passengers make the same mistake of thinking they can easily hail a taxi or hop onto a bus. However, things don’t always go as smoothly in Costa Rica, but luckily, there is an easy solution to this nerve-racking scenario, and it is called a private airport shuttle. But not your typical one. This one is organized by Costa Rica Horizon with the purpose of treating everyone to the most convenient and efficient start and end of their upcoming trip.
We have noticed that when traveling to new places, many people simply buy their plane ticket on a whim, usually based on price. They don’t take into consideration all the options, check if there are multiple airports in the country, and which ones are closest to the places they want to visit. It is extremely important where you land, especially in countries such as Costa Rica. So, let us help you pick the most adequate airport, and the very first thing you need to know is that there are two international ones, Juan Santamaría International Airport and Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport. Picking the right one can help you save hours of your time and help you have the most effortless experience.
The first option is Juan Santamaría International Airport. SJO is located only about 20km from the capital, San José. It is the largest airport in Costa Rica, and thanks to its location, it is the best landing option for those who would like to start their journey by spending some time in the country’s biggest and most meaningful city. Also, in case you are organizing a diverse itinerary that takes you across multiple regions, such as the Central Valley, Arenal Volcano, Manuel Antonio, the Caribbean coast, or Monteverde, SJO is typically your best entry point. Thanks to carefully organized and personalized private shuttles, you can go from SJO to any of these locations in maximum comfort and style. As soon as your plane touches the ground, a uniformed chauffeur will welcome you, escort you to your vehicle, and ensure you settle in.
When making your reservation, you will have an opportunity to select a vehicle that meets your needs in the best way, and if you are traveling with your kids, you can even request a child seat and ensure the maximum safety for everyone on board.
When it comes to Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport, it is nestled in the northwest of Costa Rica. This makes LIR the best choice for those who would like to focus their journey on Guanacaste’s Pacific coast, and spectacular destinations such as Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal, Nosara, Sámara, and Playa Hermosa. No matter when you arrive at Liberia Airport, you can be sure to do that with a smile on your face. Whether you have a super early or late flight, finally, there is nothing to stress over. A designated driver and luxury vehicle will be available for you whenever you need them, ready to whisk you from your airport to some of the country’s most breathtaking locations.
We believe that by now, you get just how incredibly important it is to secure your transportation in advance when coming to Costa Rica. It is also worth mentioning that roads in the entire country go from well-maintained ones to barely passable, so having a professional to be in charge of driving is probably the smartest thing you can do. They can successfully navigate rugged roads, while you and your loved ones unwind in the back seat after a tiring flight. The fleet of vehicles you can choose from is carefully curated to fit the roads’ rough conditions, so you can be sure you will arrive at your desired location without a single hitch.
In case you are landing at SJO, you will probably venture to places such as San José, La Fortuna, Santa Elena, or Jacó Beach. Rides to all of these places can take up to a few hours, but when you can spend them in a comfortable and perfectly equipped vehicle, everything will be more enjoyable. From LIR, rocky roads lead to some of the most picturesque beach towns in the world, and now you can flawlessly go from the airport to your preferred one.
Costa Rica is not just another destination you can go to. It is one of the most paradise-like countries you can go to, and thanks to Costa Rica Horizon and private shuttles organized by their team of experts, you can land at SJO or LIR with peace of mind knowing that all your transportation needs are catered to. So, secure your ride on time, and have the most memorable journey: just the way you deserve it!
