This was my first time leaving Santa Teresa without a rental car, and I was more stressed about it than I should have been. I had an early afternoon flight from Liberia, so I needed something that felt organized from the start. The morning pickup was early, but that actually helped because the weather was already getting hot and I had a backpack plus a heavy suitcase. The road out of Santa Teresa was rough in parts and there were plenty of bends later on, but the whole ride felt calm and well handled. I remember looking out the window once the scenery started changing from beach town to greener inland areas and thinking how different that side of Costa Rica felt. By the time we arrived in Liberia, I was relieved, a little sleepy, and very glad I had booked this shuttle service Costa Rica instead of trying to piece the trip together myself.
We chose this option because my partner and I did not want to rent a car for the drive out of Santa Teresa. I was a little worried about the curves and the heat since I get motion sickness sometimes, but the journey was comfortable and the pace felt safe the whole way. There was enough room for our luggage, and the pickup coordination the night before was clear, which I appreciated. We also liked not having to think about directions or road conditions after several busy days. As a shared shuttle Costa Rica option, it made a lot more sense for us than trying to manage the route ourselves.
I booked this after a few days at the beach and honestly just wanted an easy ride to Liberia. Pickup in Santa Teresa was right on time, which helped because I was already tired and carrying two bags. The van was cool, clean, and the route went smoother than I expected considering some bumpy sections leaving town. For anyone needing transportation in Costa Rica, this worked really well for a simple transfer.
