Liberia Airport to Playa Flamingo Shuttle

Private transfer from Liberia Airport (LIR) to Playa Flamingo. 70–75 km · 1 h 20 min – 1 h 45 min · from $120

Playa Flamingo is the same distance and the same price from Liberia Airport as Tamarindo, so if you are choosing between the two, the transfer is not the deciding factor. The road in is paved the whole way and the drive takes under two hours.

We arrived in Liberia, immediately met by our driver with our name on a card.

Before you message us

The five things travellers ask before they book.

How do I pay?
Cash when you board, or PayPal in advance (a 13% tax applies to PayPal payments). No deposit required for cash bookings.
What if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight with the number you give us and adjust to your real arrival time. Delays are on us, not you.
Do you have car seats for kids?
Yes, on request at no charge. Costa Rican law doesn't require them for this type of transport, but we're happy to provide one — just mention it when you book.
How far in advance should I book?
Two days ahead is ideal, especially in high season. We take last-minute bookings whenever we have a vehicle available, so it never hurts to ask.
Where do I meet the driver?
Right outside the arrivals exit. Your driver will be holding a sign with your name.

  • Booked a shuttle to the airport the morning of our flight and they took care of us without any issue. Joel was our driver and he was very friendly and drove safe. He was helpful and gave great suggestions, we will definitely use Guana when we come back to visit.

  • Guana Shuttle Service is easy to book; they are on top of their service with timely confirmations. The driver we had was excellent in both transportations, but also in explaining what we were seeing between the airport and resort. They provide a very safe and comfortable transportation service and I highly recommend it to fellow travelers.

  • I enjoyed a very efficient and friendly transit between the JW Marriott in Guanacaste and the airport in Liberia …. The driver arrived timely and was excellent and very helpful. I felt completely safe and my luggage was treated gently. I definitely plan on using the Guana Shuttle Service again the next time I visit! Highest Recommendation!!
