Kinda hi-jacking for some of my own information, but..
Any reason other than the bad roads? I have a car rented to drive from SJO to Quepos. I have read it's not too bad of a drive and looks like mostly "highway". I've driven in some pretty bad places.

There’s no direct route to Quepos from SJO and what passes for roads are crappy. Traffic can be crappy as well if Farmero Jose wants to move a piece of equipment and there’s always the slow local buses to contend with.
I’ve flown into SJO then into Quepos (via Sansa) and the Dollar Rental Car local agent met me at the Quepos strip with my rental.
Good luck, hope this helps.

The roads from SJO to Quepos are relatively good, no reason not to drive. It's not U.S. quality but it's good for central/south America. I've driven all over Costa Rica, it helped a LOT to have a GPS with a Costa Rica map but would guess that Waze should serve for that now. It helps that SJO is to the west of San Jose so to get from SJO to Quepos there is no need to drive through the city, that can be a mess.
BTW on the drive it's worth a stop at the Tarcoles River bridge to see the crocodiles from the bridge. But be cautious where you park and be aware of the people around you. It's a favorite tourist stop and cars have been broken into and people robbed. Just don't be an easy target and you'll be fine.
