Exceptional, Professional, and Reliable Private Transfers Across Costa Rica!
Our experience with Private Travel Costa Rica was exceptional from start to finish. We used their service for multiple transfers, including from San Juan airport to La Fortuna, between locations in La Fortuna, and from Tamarindo to Liberia International Airport. Every driver was amazing—on time, flexible, and extremely professional. The responsiveness of the entire team made coordinating our travel seamless and stress-free. We highly recommend them for any transportation needs in Costa Rica.

Monteverde Day Tour
Diego was a great driver and we really enjoyed our day with him. We stayed at the Westin Conchal and wanted to go to Monteverde for the day. Other drivers said we should not do it because it was too much for a day trip, but that's what we wanted to do, so I was very happy that Diego said no problem, even with picking us up at 8:00 AM and dropping us off very late at night. We got to do all the things on my list and see more of Costa Rica. He was a great communicator, on time always, great driver, car was immaculate, and we felt safe and comfortable all day. He recommended a great restaurant for us for lunch, took pics for us at the waterfalls, and got us everywhere we needed to be. Highly recommend his services!

Traveler Tip
The first hour is the descent off the mountain, so take a motion sickness pill in Monteverde rather than once you are already on the switchbacks — and check your flight time twice, because this is the direction where a delay on the mountain is hardest to make up
Is the shuttle from Monteverde (Cloud Forest) to Liberia Airport family-friendly?
Three hours, and the part to plan around with children is the first one: the descent from Monteverde down Route 606 is paved but steep and full of tight curves. If anyone is prone to motion sickness, deal with it before leaving, not on the way down. Have a lighter layer ready in the vehicle too — you start at 1,400 metres in the cloud forest and finish in the Guanacaste heat. Child seats are free.
Budget breakdown
This private shuttle from Monteverde to Liberia Airport (LIR) costs $220 for up to 6 passengers — that's just $55 per person for a group of 4. Compare that to individual taxi rides or shared shuttles with multiple stops. Private door-to-door service means no waiting, no extra stops, and your vacation time starts the moment you land. Want to extend the drive into a memorable day? Upgrade to our VIP transfer for $80 more — flexible stops along the way (scenic viewpoints, coffee farm, lunch in a local town — your call).
About travel times
Google Maps may show a shorter time, but real driving conditions in Costa Rica are different. Plan for 3 H for this route. Mountain roads have curves that require careful driving — our experienced drivers know every turn. Our drivers know Costa Rica's roads and always get you there safely and comfortably.
Is the shuttle from Monteverde (Cloud Forest) to Liberia Airport available 24/7?
We run it at any hour with no surcharge, but the descent out of Monteverde deserves respect after dark or in fog and our drivers take it slowly. Budget extra time, not less, for a pre-dawn departure to catch a flight at LIR. Once you are down off the mountain the rest is open highway and quick.
Local insider tip
On a clear morning the descent opens onto the Gulf of Nicoya with the islands laid out below — the best view of the drive, and it comes in the first half hour while everyone is still awake. Sit on the left going down.
