Private Airport Pickup at SJO

Airport pickup is coordinated using the travel details supplied with the reservation. Passengers should provide:

  • Travel date.

  • Airline and flight number.

  • Scheduled arrival time.

  • Number of passengers.

  • Complete destination in Jacó.

  • Reachable contact information.

  • Regular and special luggage details.

The specific airport meeting instructions are provided with the confirmed reservation. Travelers should allow time to complete immigration, baggage claim and customs before meeting the transportation service.

The San Jose Airport transportation guide provides additional information for planning transportation after arriving at SJO.

Direct Transportation to Your Jaco Accommodation

The private vehicle travels from the airport to the destination included in the reservation. The service does not collect passengers from unrelated bookings.

Drop-off may be arranged at a confirmed hotel, condominium, residence or vacation rental within the applicable Jacó service area. Travelers should provide the complete property name and location rather than entering only “Jacó.”

Properties outside the standard service area may require different arrangements or pricing. The exact destination should therefore be confirmed before payment.

Flexible Scheduling for Private Transportation

Private transportation does not use the fixed departure times assigned to shared shuttle passengers. Pickup is coordinated around the confirmed flight arrival and travel itinerary.

Traffic, weather and operating conditions can affect the route and arrival time. Passengers with property check-in deadlines, activities or onward connections should maintain reasonable flexibility in their plans.

An airline delay does not automatically confirm a different pickup arrangement. Travelers should communicate significant flight changes as soon as possible so the available options can be reviewed.

Passenger and Luggage Information

The $150 price applies to groups of one to four passengers. Travelers with more than four passengers must provide the complete group size so vehicle capacity and the applicable price can be confirmed.

Surfboards, bicycles, wheelchairs, strollers and oversized suitcases must be declared in advance. Acceptance depends on the assigned vehicle and the total luggage carried by the group.

Providing accurate luggage information helps ensure that appropriate capacity is arranged before arrival.

Private Transportation or Shared Shuttle?

Private transportation costs $150 for one to four passengers and provides an exclusive vehicle with pickup coordinated for the reservation.

The shared shuttle from San Jose Airport to Jaco Beach costs $59 per person and offers five confirmed departures:

  • 4:20 a.m.

  • 10:00 a.m.

  • 1:00 p.m.

  • 3:00 p.m.

  • 5:30 p.m.

One shared-shuttle passenger pays $59, while two passengers pay $118. Three passengers would pay $177, and four would pay $236. The $150 private service therefore costs less overall for groups of three or four.

The choice should also consider flight timing, the fixed shared schedule, meeting-point arrangements, luggage and whether passengers want an exclusive or shared vehicle.

Return Transportation from Jaco to SJO

Travelers planning transportation in both directions can review private transportation from Jaco to San Jose Airport.

A rental car may be useful for visitors planning several destinations or needing independent transportation throughout their stay. Travelers can compare car rental options at San Jose Airport or review car rental in Jaco.

Rental availability, requirements and return arrangements depend on the selected dates and locations.
