Top questions about SJO Airport

  • If you and your driver do not speak the same language, you’ll still be able to communicate with each other. You can use the app’s chat feature, which will automatically translate your messages and theirs into the language you’ve set as your preference.

  • We recommend getting to the airport 3 hours early for international travel. Be sure to check estimated travel times when you schedule your pickup so you get to the airport on time.

  • At most airports, your Uber driver-partner will take you directly to the standard passenger dropoff area (departures/ticketing area) based on your selected terminal and/or airline. Feel free to let your driver-partner know if you'd prefer a different location or specific door.

  • If you request pickup now, the cost of an Uber trip to SJO Airport depends on factors that include the type of ride you request, the estimated length and duration of the trip, tolls, city fees, and current demand for rides.

    You can get an estimate of the price before you request by going to our price estimator and entering your pickup spot and destination. Then when you request a ride, you’ll get your actual price in the app based on real-time factors.

    If you reserve a ride, you'll be shown the price up front and lock in the cost. Unless there are changes in route, duration, or distance, the price you get is the price you’ll pay.
