GETTING THERE
There are two international airports in Costa Rica. All major tourist regions are accessible from either airport. However,
hotels in the San José ( and the Central Valley), Puntarenas, Manuel Antonio and Mid- and South-Pacific areas are most
conveniently served by San José's Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO); hotels in Guanacaste province in Liberia are
most conveniently served by the Daniel Oduber International Airport, Liberia (LIR). Hotels in the Monteverde region are
generally 3.5 hours from LIR and 4 hours from SJO. Hotels in the Arenal region are generally 3 to 3.5 hours from either
airport. Hotels in the Nicoya Peninsula region are approximately 4.5 hours from either airport.
GETTING AROUND: (Transportation Options)
Vacation Express offers 4 different transportation options:
Shared Transfer: Available from Daniel Oduber International Airport, Liberia (LIR), Guanacaste region only. Clients
share a bus/van and are taken to one or more resorts before being dropped off at their selected hotel, prices are per person.
Shared Shuttle Transfer: Shuttle services are available on specific daily schedules only, to many of Costa
Rica's most popular sites from hotels in San Jose downtown. Clients share a bus to transfer between resorts with clients of multiple tour companies in a
country-wide bus pool that covers multiple regions and areas; prices are per person. Shuttle services are one of the most
inexpensive ways to travel around Costa Rica, accompanied by professional drivers in air-conditioned
minivans or buses. Service is available for individuals, couples, families and even groups.
Private Transfer: Clients may opt for a private van or vehicle to transport them directly to and from their
destination; prices are per vehicle. This is a good option for families or groups of friends traveling together, allowing you
to be picked up on your own schedule and chauffeured by an experienced driver to many of Costa Rica's sites, while enjoying
the wonderful panoramic views the country has to offer.
Car Rentals: Vacation Express offers car rentals only for the entire duration of your stay (i.e., if you book a 7
night vacation, you must reserve an 8 day car rental and cannot do just 4 days). Vehicles must be picked up and dropped off
at the airport (LIR or SJO). Car Rental options are displayed in the “Car Rental” area during the booking process. Car
rental rates do not include mandatory insurance (approx. $17-$26 p/day) as well as an $800 refundable credit card deposit.
These fees are payable in destination when the car is picked up. If you choose to pick-up or leave the car at your resort,
pick-up/drop-off fees may apply and are also payable in destination. Drivers must be at least 21 to rent a car. Sample car
descriptions are as follows:
Suzuki Alto – Mini, allows 2 adults and 2 small children
Suzuki Jimmy – SUV, allows 2 adults, 2 children/teens and one infant or 3 small children
Daihatsu BEGO – SUV 4 Wheel Drive, allows 2 adults and 2 children/teens
Toyota Prado – SUV,
allows 7 passengers
Intra-Costa Rica Air: Two domestic airlines offer daily flights to most of the major domestic destinations. However,
traveling by land affords visitors the opportunity to see and experience the unique countryside. Call for details on available domestic air arrangements.
