Getting to your Costa Rican getaway just got easier with the Private Transfer from Liberia Airport to Margaritaville Resort. For $170 per group (up to five people), this service promises a smooth, stress-free start to your vacation. The transfer takes approximately one to one and a half hours, depending on traffic, and is available around the clock, making it ideal whether you arrive early morning or late at night. The vehicle is a modern, air-conditioned mini bus, equipped for comfort and space, helping you relax after your flight.
What we really appreciate about this transfer is the personalized attention — your driver will hold a sign with your name, and the service is entirely private, unlike sharing a shuttle with strangers. Also, the driver can make stops along the way for anything from bathroom breaks to photo opportunities or grabbing a snack, giving you some flexibility during your journey.
One potential downside is that this is a one-way transfer—if you want to return to Liberia, you’ll need to book a round-trip separately. Still, this is a small detail compared to the ease and comfort it offers. This service suits travelers who value reliability, private comfort, and local knowledge—especially those new to Costa Rica or arriving after a long flight and eager to skip the hassle of taxis or confusing public transport.

Ease of Booking and Pricing
Booking your private transfer in advance is straightforward — most travelers plan about 57 days ahead on average, which is wise if your trip coincides with busy travel seasons. At $170 for up to five people, this service offers a notable advantage over taxis or ride-sharing apps, especially if you’re traveling as a group. When you divide that cost, it’s often cheaper and more predictable than hailing separate taxis, plus you get the comfort of a private vehicle.
The Vehicle and Comfort
The transportation is a modern, fully equipped mini bus. This means air conditioning is a given, a real lifesaver in the tropical heat, and there’s plenty of space for your luggage—important when you’re hauling beach gear or multiple bags. During the ride, you’re not crammed in or squeezed, which makes a huge difference after a long flight.
Punctuality and Reliability
We love the way this service guarantees you’ll be greeted promptly. One reviewer, Brent, remarked, “Our driver was prompt and had a sign with our name on it. He was great and offered to stop if we needed to pick anything up.” This kind of attentive service means you’re not left waiting or worrying about transport issues. Plus, if your flight is delayed, the driver will wait without charging extra — a huge plus, especially in Costa Rica where flight schedules can change unexpectedly.
The Driver Experience
The drivers are native Costa Ricans, meaning they know the area well and can provide local insights if you ask. One review highlights a driver who was helpful and gave recommendations, adding a personal touch to an otherwise straightforward service. The driver’s willingness to make stops—whether for bathroom breaks, photos, or food—adds to the flexibility and makes the transfer feel less like a chore and more like part of the adventure.
