Shuttle transfers are available between most popular destinations in Costa Rica, but will not pick you up at the airport.  They are shared with other tourists and run on a daily schedule.  Shuttles will only pick up at designated hotels within each destination.  As other tourists will be on the same transfer, you will have to wait while others are picked up and dropped off at their respective hotels.  Shuttle transfers also have a slight tendency to run off of schedule by a margin of plus or minus 10 to 15 minutes, which is nearly always caused by other travelers not being ready for the shuttle.

Most visitors with less than five travelers in their party use a combination of private and shuttle transfers.  Most use the private transfers for airport pick-ups and drop offs and then shuttle transfers in between destinations.
