Londontraveller67 Posted July 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Hi We are booked on a Windstar cruise that arrives into Puerto Caldera in January, and need to get to a hotel about two hours further north, near(ish) Liberia airport. But we are struggling! There seems to be no car rental place at Puerto Caldera, and I believe the rental depot that was at a hotel nearby has closed down. Someone suggested Vamos Car Rental in San Jose that would bring a car out but they have said they only do a 7-day minimum rental in January. Help! Does anyone know of a car rental place that will deliver to Puerto Caldera, only has a 2 or 3 day minimum in January and will do a one-way drop off (for a fee of course) at Liberia airport? Does Windstar offer transfers to Liberia? (I know they do to San Jose, but that doesn't really help us). Or does anyone know of a reliable driver or car service in Costa Rica that would take us north from Puerto Caldera? Many thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strenz Posted July 30, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2017 We have been to CR many times. The Costa Ricans are extremely nice and honest. We have used driving services many times unfortunately I can't remember the names. If you google taxis/ driving services etc I am sure you will find one. I do not know what hotel in Liberia you are staying at perhaps they can give you a name. The Marriott did that for us in San Jose and for a very reasonable price they dropped us off at Puerto Caldera. Good Luck I wish I was more helpful but I wanted to let you know it is possible and not to worry. Happy Sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridaag Posted July 31, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Why do you want to rent a car? Just hire a tour/driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londontraveller67 Posted July 31, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hi floridaag, thanks; if you read down towards the bottom of my post, a car and driver is certainly a possibility that I ask about. Do you know someone you can recommend? I'd rather have a personal recommendation than just google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridaag Posted July 31, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2017 In February - we used Ricky Ricardo Tours http://www.rickyricardotours.com/ for our Puerto Caldera pick-up, we toured the Paos Volcano and then went to the airport in San Jose. f We used www.giotours.com for Manuel Antonio/Quepos. Both were perfect, smooth, and I would highly recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
