Not on time and no English speaking driver
We arrived at airport and got thru custom fairly quick because of family line. We paid for meet and greet. We asked for car seats. We came out and looked for our name in a sea of taxi services and could not find it. Some taxi driver came and ask a woman to help us make a phone call to the company. They said they can take us and give receipt to get reimbursed. I heard someone picked up the phone and talked with the woman. I walked away to ask another taxi driver who was sent by my hotel. He couldn’t help because he is a third party driver as well. I then what’s app my company and they said the driver will come in 5min with a plate number to look for. How in the world. can I look for the car in the seas of people and car and luggages and 2 young kids. The lady who helped earlier came back and said the company didn’t answer the phone so offered to go with them. Luckily they texted me back already otherwise I might get scammed there. i requested English speaking driver and mine driver cannot speak one word. Anyhow, we were able to get to our destination but pretty disappointed with the service.

Easy as 1,2,3…
Easy to book, communicate with company, and find my driver for a seamless ride to the hotel from the airport

Seamless transfer, highly recommend!
Highly recommend booking this service if you need transportation between the airport and your hotel! Jose was our driver and he was so friendly and got us there quickly and safely. It was a long drive, but Jose was great about pointing out landmarks and sharing insights about Costa Rica on the drive. It was also easy to find him outside the airport. Can’t recommend enough!
Response from the operator: It sounds like Jose made the journey just as enjoyable as the destination! 😊 We're so happy to hear that you felt safe and comfortable and enjoyed learning about Costa Rica along the way. Jose truly enjoys sharing his local knowledge with our guests, and we'll be sure to pass along your kind words. Thank you so much for your wonderful recommendation and for trusting our team with your transportation. We hope to welcome you back soon! Pura Vida! 🇨🇷🌴🚐

Would use again!
Our flight was delayed and they said they were tracking it. They were there when we landed! Great service
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad our flight tracking helped us adjust to the delay and be there when you landed. It was a pleasure providing your transfer, and we hope to welcome you back to Costa Rica!

6 hr ride in total
We told the guy we were staying at JW Marriott Guanacaste and he took us to the other side of the country 3 hours from our destination. He told us it was the only JW Marriott. There was a language barrier and so that made it even more uncomfortable when he realized it was his mistake - he said sorry and then wanted another $300 . We ended up traveling back to the airport . Lesson learned . Next time print your destination and even translation to show your destination clearly .
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We reviewed the reservation, and the destination selected was JW Marriott Hacienda Pinilla. Our driver took you to the hotel listed in your booking. JW Marriott Costa Elena is a separate property, and it is also available as a destination option in our catalog. Both hotels are located in Guanacaste Province, though in different locations. we took you back to the airport at no additional cost as a courtesy. We recommend checking the full hotel name and location selected in the reservation to help avoid confusion between properties with similar names.

Who is Costa Rica Guanacaste Airport ( LIR )Private Arrival Transfer best for?
+
It suits families and travelers short on time best, based on its 0.5-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Costa Rica Guanacaste Airport ( LIR )Private Arrival Transfer good value?
+
Yes. It starts at $5, below the $175 typical for similar experiences in Liberia.
How much does Costa Rica Guanacaste Airport ( LIR )Private Arrival Transfer cost?
+
Prices start at $5 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Liberia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Costa Rica Guanacaste Airport ( LIR )Private Arrival Transfer take?
+
Plan for about 0.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Liberia is not rushed.
Is Costa Rica Guanacaste Airport ( LIR )Private Arrival Transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 495 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Liberia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Costa Rica Guanacaste Airport ( LIR )Private Arrival Transfer?

Is Costa Rica Guanacaste Airport ( LIR )Private Arrival Transfer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Costa Rica Guanacaste Airport ( LIR )Private Arrival Transfer?
+
Around 173 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Liberia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Liberia and add a light layer if any part of the 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Costa Rica Guanacaste Airport ( LIR )Private Arrival Transfer start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Liberia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Liberia?
+
On Outty we rank every Liberia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sloth Watching, Coffee, Chocolate & Waterfall from Guanacaste, Adventure in Volcano Combo Tour! - Zip Line, Waterfall, Hot Springs and More, Coffee & Chocolate Tour+Sloths Park & Llanos de Cortez Waterfall. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Liberia?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Liberia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
