Just looking to get from the airport to SL. How much does a cab cost, and is there a better way?
The official airport taxi will use the meter, and should run about $30-35, give or take, based on traffic. Correct me if I'm wrong on the rate, I haven't taken an airport taxi in years, I just know from what's been reported here.
Other options:
1. Book one of the private guys mentioned in this thread, it should run you about $30 fixed cost. During rush hour (late afternoon), it's better than using the airport taxi because the cost is fixed. The airport taxi meter will keep going up to $40 or more.
2. You can book Interbus shuttle. It's a large van/minibus. It's a shared ride, so other people can also book the same pickup time, but usually you'll be the only one. It's about $15/person each way to/from airport. You can book it here:

4. You can try to make a deal with an incoming taxi. You exit arrivals building go past the taxi drivers and people waiting outside, cross the street and take the escalator in the parking garage upstairs to the departure level. There when you see a taxi dropping off any passengers, ask how much to San Jose? They will say meter (maria) or he'll quote you a price. You would counter with $20 or $15. More often than not, it will be accepted since he's probably going back to SJ empty handed so anything is better than nothing.
