About Transfer Services

When it comes to accessibility from the international airports, Santa Clara de San Carlos is considered moderately accessible. While there are no direct public transportation options from the airports, private transfer services and car rental companies offer easy connections. The roads leading to the town are generally in good condition, with some stretches of highway and well-maintained local roads. However, during the rainy season, some rural roads may become rough or impassable, making a 4x4 vehicle a good option.

Travelers planning to explore the surrounding region or venture further afield may consider renting a car, which provides flexibility and independence. However, this option requires some driving experience and familiarity with Costa Rican road rules.

Both options come with their own set of challenges and considerations; renters should be aware of the roads' condition and potential risks, while private transfer services can be more expensive.

Regardless of the chosen transportation method, it is highly recommended to book services in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. This ensures availability, as demand for transportation services can be high, and allows travelers to plan their itinerary with confidence.
