“Booked last minute for our group of 7 and Liliana was so responsive. She had the perfect car and brought it to our hotel the next morning. We'll book with her again. Pura Vida!”

“The easiest car rental experience, hands down. It was delivered and picked up right from my home, and the car was reliable and comfortable. I'll definitely use them again!”

“Pura Life Private Car Rentals has been a life saver! I have used them several times when we have needed an extra car or when our car has been at the mechanics. Their cars are always clean and reliable. Alex and Lily have always made pick up and drop off easy!”
