About Payara Rent a Car
A Costa Rican family business that hands you the keys with the same trust we’d give a friend.
A Tico family behind every trip
Payara Rent a Car is a family-run business based in Bello Horizonte, Escazú. We’re not a big corporation with counters and queues: we’re a Costa Rican family that looks after every booking personally, from your first quote to the moment you hand the keys back.
We rent small cars, sedans, SUVs and minivans to tourists, residents and companies. Our idea is simple: renting a car in Costa Rica should be as easy as borrowing one from a friend. That’s why we accept cash, don’t require a credit card, and bring the car to wherever you are.
Every traveler we help is about to discover our country — and that makes us proud.
What makes us different
Personal service
Message us on WhatsApp and a real person answers, not a system. We’re there for you throughout your trip.
Transparent pricing
Our rates include mandatory insurance and taxes. If you need one, we issue an electronic invoice.
Flexible payments
Cash, bank transfer, debit or credit card and PayPal — for both the rental and the deposit.
No hassle
Want to stay a few more days? If the car is available, extending your rental is as easy as a deposit or bank transfer.
Committed to Costa Rica
Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet. For us that’s a source of pride and a responsibility: we help you explore volcanoes, beaches and forests, and encourage you to do it with respect for the nature that makes them unique. Pura vida!
