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.

Liberia Airport to Sámara Shuttle

Private transfer from Liberia Airport (LIR) to Sámara. 105–110 km · 2 h 30 min – 3 h · from $170

Sámara is a two-and-a-half to three hour drive south from Liberia Airport, deeper into the Nicoya Peninsula than the Tamarindo cluster. On a drive this long the convenience stop along the way stops being a detail: tell the driver and you can stop for food, a bathroom or groceries before arriving.
