Pura LifeCar Rental
Pura LifePura Life was founded with a simple mission: to bridge the gap between locals, tourists, and expat families and the car rental industry, with reliable vehicles, honest pricing, and the personal touch big agencies can't match.
Too often, car rentals are dominated by large agencies with unclear pricing, hidden fees, excessive paperwork, and long waiting times. Many travelers arrive expecting one price, only to face unexpected charges and frustration when picking up their vehicle. We knew there was a better way.
Alex and Lili moved to Costa Rica in 2024 and quickly experienced the challenges many families face when relocating to a new country. Like many newcomers, they needed to rent a car while searching for one to buy, and later faced the realities of maintaining a used vehicle. Along the way, they met countless other families dealing with the same issues: high rental rates, unreliable negotiations, and the frequent need for a rental car when hosting visiting family, while their own vehicle was in the shop, or for a longer stay when they decided to make Costa Rica home for a school year or a season.
As entrepreneurs, Alex and Lili saw an opportunity to create a better experience. They began by renting out their own vehicles and gradually built a carefully selected fleet of private cars designed to meet the needs of families, travelers, and adventurers. Their goal was simple: provide reliable vehicles, transparent flat-rate pricing, and a personalized service without the red tape.
Renting from Pura Life is like renting from a trusted local friend, someone who knows the market, understands your needs, and offers the flexibility and personal attention that large rental agencies simply can't match.
