Usually, tourists take private transfers or shared shuttle services to get from Quepos to San José, SJO Airport, La Fortuna, Monteverde, Jacó, Dominical and other places.

San José and SJO Airport to Quepos

The route from the San José area to Quepos is one of the most frequently taken by tourists going to Manuel Antonio; private transfers provide direct transport for your party, whereas shared shuttles usually run on a fixed schedule and may have other passenger stops.

If you're looking at the different options, you should check whether the pickup is to be made in central San José, at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), or at a particular hotel. The various locations cannot be treated as if they are the same and the travel time will depend on the traffic conditions and your exact starting point.

Private vs. shared transfers

Private transfers are generally the best choice for families, for groups, for travelers who have luggage, or for anyone who would like to make a direct journey, since they also provide greater flexibility with regard to arrival times at the airport.

Shared shuttles are more economical when travelling alone or as a couple, but they have more restricted departure times and pickup locations.

Before you book, check if the rate given is on a per-person or per-vehicle basis, verify the luggage allowance, find out about pickup coverage, check the cancellation terms, and determine if any extra stops are planned.

Connecting Quepos with other destinations

Quepos can likewise be reached by road from La Fortuna, Monteverde, Jacó, Dominical, and other areas of Costa Rica; certain routes are fairly direct whereas others include mountain roads and take longer than the time indicated by the distance on a map.

When you are traveling from Quepos to a place like La Fortuna or Monteverde, don't plan a tight schedule for the day of your transfer since traffic, weather, and the condition of the roads may affect your arrival times.
