Liberia Airport Transportation

Your driver waits just outside the terminal doors after customs, holding a sign with your name. Authorized operators wear company uniforms and carry official credentials, so check both before getting in. LIR has a single terminal, so there is only one exit to look for.

Yes. Guanacaste Airport is the brand name adopted in 2021 for Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) in Liberia, Costa Rica. It is not San José's airport, and it has nothing to do with the country of Liberia in West Africa.

The resorts on the Gulf of Papagayo are about 30 to 45 minutes from Liberia Airport by road. We take you straight to your resort's lobby, with no other hotel stops on the way.

Yes. Tamarindo is roughly 45 minutes to an hour from the airport by road, and we drop you at your hotel, condo or rental in town. Let us know about surfboards when you book so the right vehicle is assigned.

Yes. Playas del Coco lies in the same direction as the Papagayo resorts, and Playa Flamingo is further along the Guanacaste coast. Give us your exact address and we drive you door to door.

We monitor the flight on your reservation and adjust the pickup to its actual arrival. If you change flights, miss a connection or your flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking so we can rebook your pickup.

Yes. Book a one-way departure or add the return to a round-trip reservation, giving your departure time. Everything at LIR runs from one terminal, so the drop-off is the same for every airline.

Yes. Many travelers to Guanacaste bring surfboards, golf bags or fishing gear. Tell us what you are carrying when you book so we assign a vehicle with enough room.

Costa Rica uses Central Standard Time (UTC-6) all year and does not change clocks for daylight saving time. Give pickup times for your return ride in local time.
