Ground transport

Getting to and from Juan Santamaría International Airport

How to reach the city, and where each option picks you up.

Option

Pickup point

Best for

Orange taxis

Coopetranstura · Airport Taxi Safe Services · Gorila Taxi · Orange Taxi · TaxiCab · Taxis Unidos

Only orange-coloured taxis are authorised to work the airport — several radio-taxi companies share that livery

The regulated option right outside; most of the fleets above take phone or WhatsApp reservations

Rental cars

10 agencies — Alamo, Budget, Dollar, Economy, Enterprise, Hertz, National, Payless, Solid–Nu Rentals, Thrifty

Counters in the Aduanas (Customs) area of the terminal

The only self-drive option, and the widest brand choice of any airport in the project so far

Public bus (San José / Alajuela terminals)

TUASA and five long-distance terminals — no stop at the airport

Not at the terminal: the airport’s own transport page only points to bus terminals across San José and Alajuela, including TUASA

A budget option once you reach a terminal by taxi — the airport publishes no route or schedule for a stop at the kerb itself
