Your Direct Contact With Someone Who Cares
20+ years running airport transportation in Liberia, Guanacaste. We saw too many travelers overpaying for a ride we could arrange directly — at a fair price, with drivers we trust personally.
That's the model behind LIRDirect.com: we connect you directly with independent, vetted owner-operators instead of large vehicle fleet owners. This gets rid of layers of commission on top of what a fleet already charges — cutting that out means more of what you pay goes straight to the person driving you, and helps independent local operators get consistent, direct work.
Message us, and you're talking directly to us — not a script, not a bot, not an overseas booking agency. We personally match you with a vetted driver and stand behind every ride.
The website is new. The experience isn't — that's why we run on direct communication and pay-on-arrival, with cash or credit/debit card payment options, instead of an online deposit.
Licensed Drivers. Straight Answers.
Everything you need to know before you book.
Is LIRDirect.com a licensed transportation company?
Yes, we connect you directly with independent, licensed, and insured local drivers who have operated legally in Guanacaste for years. You deal directly with a local driver you can trust — not a catch-all, distribute-later model.
Why are your prices lower than big shuttle agencies?
LIRDirect.com connects you directly with independent, vetted owner-operators instead — a structurally cheaper model that puts more of what you pay directly into the hands of the person driving you.
How does payment work?
Once you confirm your flight details and destination, you pay your driver directly on arrival — cash (CAD, USD, or CRC) or credit/debit card (USD only), whichever works best for you — no online deposit required.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash in CAD, USD, or CRC. Credit/debit card payments are accepted in USD only, paid directly to your driver on arrival. There's no online deposit to worry about, and no cancellation fees — just simple, transparent payment when you arrive.
What if my flight is delayed?
Send your flight number when you book. Your driver monitors your flight and adjusts pickup time accordingly if there is a delay, at no extra charge.
Do you offer private vans for groups?
Yes, larger vehicles are available for groups and families. Just tell us your group size when you message us, and we'll match you with the right vehicle.
Which destinations do you serve?
Tamarindo, Nosara, Santa Teresa, Monteverde, La Fortuna/Arenal, Playas del Coco, Papagayo, RIU Guanacaste, Playa Flamingo, and all the top Guanacaste beach resorts. Don't see yours? Message us — we likely cover it.
How far in advance should I book?
Because we work with a limited number of drivers, we recommend booking as soon as you have your flight details, especially during high season (December–April) and holidays when spots fill quickly.
Only a Small, Hand-Picked Network of Drivers
We lock in trusted, independent owner-operators first — not a large fleet — rather than grabbing every booking and scrambling for a driver afterward. That means availability is genuinely limited, especially in high season (Dec–Apr) and on holidays. Secure your ride as soon as your travel dates are set — first come, first served.
