Questions about shuttles to Playas del Coco

How long is the shuttle from Liberia Airport to Playas del Coco?
About 1 hour 30 minutes door to door, on the real roads, not the fastest time a map app shows. The shuttle is private and direct, so there are no stops to drop other passengers off.
How much does a private shuttle from Liberia Airport (LIR) to Playas del Coco cost?
$105 per vehicle for up to 5 passengers, USD, 13% VAT included. Larger groups pay the 6–9 or 10–12 passenger price for the whole vehicle; both are in the table on this page. The price is the same any day or hour of the year and nothing is paid at pickup.
Where does the driver meet me for the ride to Playas del Coco?
At Liberia Airport, just outside the arrivals doors with a Ruta Pacifico sign carrying your name; we follow your flight number, so a delay moves the pickup, never cancels it. From a hotel, beach or another town, the driver comes to the door of the property at the time you booked.
Can I get a shuttle from Playas del Coco back to the airport or to another beach?
Yes. Every departure from Playas del Coco we sell online is in the "Shuttles from Playas del Coco" table above: the airports, Flamingo, Las Catalinas, Papagayo Peninsula and Playa Conchal and the rest of the country. Airport drop-offs are timed so you check in about three hours before an international flight.
Do you have child seats for the trip to Playas del Coco?
Yes, and they are free. Costa Rican law requires a car seat or booster for children under 12 or shorter than 1.45 m (4 ft 9 in), so tell us the ages when you book and the right seats are installed before pickup.
What is the cancellation policy for a Playas del Coco shuttle?
Cancel more than 48 hours before pickup for a full refund minus the 13% tax. Within 48 hours the trip is non-refundable. Changes to the date, time or address are free up to 48 hours before, subject to availability.
