Pleasant & Personalized Shuttle Experience
I was so pleasantly surprised with the service I received from Everywhere Costa Rica. Truly the best service I’ve received when travelling. When I arrived at San Jose Airport, I already had a message waiting from them letting me know that they were waiting for me. They advised me where to meet them, and everything ran seamlessly. During the drive to Jaco, my driver Hilda was so patient with all my questions about her beautiful country and the Costa Rican culture. She offered to stop at tourist spots as well. She provided a warm and personalized experience. My return to the San Jose airport was equally enjoyable. Thank you to Hilda, Daniel, and Eric for making the drives to and from the airport such a pleasant experience!

Excellent Shuttle Service
Excellent service. I highly recommend this shuttle service. The shuttle was clean and the driver was excellent. They were very accommodating and willing to go out of their way so that we could get a covid test in order to fly back to the us. Well worth the money.

The Best of the Best
For four years. We have relied on these folks and they have never let us down. Modern clean vans show up on time every time. They always accommodate us by stopping at Walmart on our way out of San Jose to allow us to stock up with supplies. Bathroom/restaurant breaks are never an issue. Friendly staff made us feel more like family than customers.

Excellent service
We used Everywhere Costa Rica to pick us up from our hotel in San Jose and take us to Jaco and also for the return trip from Jaco to the airport. I arranged the trips before I left the U.S. and I couldn't be happier with the service we received. Hilda was great at communicating with us and setting everything up. Our driver, Oscar Montero, was on time for the pickup, loaded all of our luggage and was very helpful and polite. He stopped at the Tarcoles Bridge so that we could see the crocodiles and helped us get some fruit from a roadside stand. Our return driver, Erick Sanchez, was great. Very prompt and helpful. I highly recommend this company and would definitely use them in the future.
Response from the operator: Hello Angie, Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. Much appreciated! I hope that you have enjoyed at lot in Jaco. Back soon! Hilda

Private Shuttle from Jaco to San Jose airport: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alajuela.
How much does Private Shuttle from Jaco to San Jose airport cost?
+
Prices start at $175 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alajuela usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Shuttle from Jaco to San Jose airport take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Alajuela is not rushed.
Is Private Shuttle from Jaco to San Jose airport worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alajuela, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Shuttle from Jaco to San Jose airport?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Shuttle from Jaco to San Jose airport suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Shuttle from Jaco to San Jose airport?
+
Around 1 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 Alajuela 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 Alajuela and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Shuttle from Jaco to San Jose airport 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 Alajuela 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 Alajuela?
+
On Outty we rank every Alajuela experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arenal Volcano Full-Day Combo Tour with Lunch and Dinner, Arenal Volcano Experience Full-Day Tour from San Jose, Manuel Antonio National Park Sightseeing and Wildlife Day Tour from San Jose. 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 Alajuela?
+
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 Alajuela?
+
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.
