About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- gloriamS6850WU0 contributionsCosta Rica trip rides awesomeThe drive was awesome. I will highly Recommend this company. They take the time to make sure you get a full adventure going to the hotel with stops for Lunch and site seeing. I am glad I chose to go with themWritten 17 May 2024
- CalGreyNomad0 contributionsExcellent Transport Service to/from the Costa Rican Pacific CoastOur experience with Ride Pura Vida was excellent. They booked us for an unusual transport, arriving earlier than scheduled (good for us!) in a clean, well-maintained van with a professional driver. This transport added so much to our overall experiences in Costa Rica. I definitely recommend this company. And especially for transports to/from Puerto Caldera, the freight port that Windstar and Sea Clipper cruise lines use. Most drivers coming from San Jose aren't familiar with the Puerto Caldera port and will try to take/pick you up from the wrong place!! Ride Pura Vida is very familiar with this location and will give you a safe, comfortable, even fun ride to/from that location. They were easy to work with directly from the Internet and US customers can pay via Paypal.Written 2 February 2024

- ejmigali0 contributionsGreat Shuttle ServicesThis company is very easy to deal with. They were more than ready to help with unforeseen schedule changes. I also want to mention that during all of our emails and interactions they were very polite.Written 11 March 2023
- 339nehab0 contributionsAmazing service from Ride Pura Vida!I am soooo glad I booked my private transfers throughout Costa Rica with ride pura vida! We rode with Randall, who’s also the business owner. He was nothing short of amazing. It felt like driving around with family or a friend! He answered all our questions and was extremely caring. The level of service we received was beyond our expectations and I don’t think our trip would have been the same without it. The car was big and comfy and always spotless. Randall did everything he could to make the trip perfect and we are so grateful. Don’t think twice before booking with Ride Pura Vida. I can’t imagine having a better experience with any other company. It felt safe, luxurious and so fun talking to Randall! I can’t wait to come back and explore the Caribbean side of Costa Rica next. I will surely be booking with them!Written 19 June 2022
- Tuan N0 contributionsOn-time and great serviceRandal was our driver from San Jose La Fortuna. Communication before meeting is timely and also arrived on time as well. Randal speaks very good English and knowledgeable of the surrounding areas. We was only book 1 way trip La Fortuna but decided to book the return trip with him as well. On the way back to San Jose, Randal took us to La Paz Waterfall Gardens Nature Park, which was so beautiful. Lunch buffet also tasty as well. Do recommended to book the park entrance and buffet together. Afterwards, the original plan was to head to Starbucks' Coffee farm. Unfortunately, there was a pipe broken at the farm and they closed. No worry, Randal took us to a coffee shop/farm nearby and the view is great. We strongly recommended to book with Randal.Written 27 May 2022
- AlysiaG11870 contributionsAmazing!Randall was a great driver and guide! He gave me recommendations for my trip, and for future trips, provided cold drinks for the ride, and was kind enough to make a stop at a lab for a covid test before dropping me off. I will definitely use this service on my next trip to Costa Rica!Written 18 March 2022
- Joanne P0 contributionsHighly recommended. Use Ride Pura Vida for all of your transfers needs in Costa RicaWhat an amazing service from Randall. It was an easy booking process, confirmation was received instantly, followed by a whats app message to confirm details. I couldn’t have felt more comfortable travelling on my own for 4 hours. It was the little gestures that made all the difference. A cold drink when I arrived, explanation of the journey and distance / arrival time. A comfort stop half way too. It was perfect. Randall was kind, knowledgable and really helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend using him for any transfer requirements around Costa Rica Having what’s app connection also made it really easy to communicate with him regarding my arrival and delays in immigration! I felt so bad when he had fo wait for so long for me to get out of the airport, but nothing seemed too much trouble! Great value for money, perfect service, easy booking process. Thank youWritten 3 December 2021
- kimsI6254RB0 contributionsReliable, punctual, extremely friendly and helpfulRandall really enriched our trip. He is not only very reliable, but also told us a lot about the country and the people. He gave us super tips at the respective places, on long routes he stopped at exciting places and always waited patiently for us. He also helped us to find the best place for a Corona test. His English is excellent. We would definitely do our next trip through Costa Rica with him again. Thanks for everything!Written 26 November 2021
- tucker_ul0 contributionsExactly what you’re looking forWas a perfect experience getting back from Jaco. The driver was punctual and arrived on time. He offered free drinks (beer, soda, water) free of charge and and had kind, considerate, and helpful communication throughout the drive. We hit traffic and the drive took longer than expected, however, the driver remained calm and composed. I felt completely safe the entire journey and felt like I was riding with a friend. I would recommend this service to anyone looking for a driver in Costa Rica, you will have a wonderful time and enjoyable experience!Written 31 July 2021
- MINAKne0 contributionsBEST TRANSFER & TOUR EVERRandall really made our stay in Costa Rica unforgettable! He is a great driver, kind, polite and great guide! He had some free Imperial beer that immediately became my favorite! We also did a little tour of San Jose and it was beautiful! He speaks great English and is very helpful! You can`t go wrong with him!Written 22 June 2021
- rachellek5720 contributionsRandal is the only transfer you need!I like to start by saying a huge thank you to Randal, I booked for several transfers around Costa Rica and so glad I did. Randal goes out of his way to make sure you have the best time transferring. We enjoyed our time with Randal so much we got excited knowing he was transferring us the next day. We shared experiences that where not planed, because he took the time to show us things along the way. When you make a booking with Randal by the end of it you will have gained a new friend. What an amazing person you are Randal thanks for being a highlight of one of the best holidays we will ever have! He never lets you down, is very flexible with times, shows you what Pura Vida really means!! We wish you well and hopefully see you soon. Your crazy English girls will be back 😁.Written 29 March 2020

- Triphelpe0 contributions3 Excellent Transfers by Ride Pura Vida, Costa RicaOur first transfer was from SJO to Monteverde, our flight into SJO was 1 hour early but Randall had checked this and was there early also to pick us up. The transfer was excellent providing refreshments, and advising all points of interest along the way. Ride Pura Vida then collected us for transfer to our second location a few days later, and then a pick to take us back to SJO at the end of our stay in CR. The service was excellent in every detail, organized by Gabi and Randall, could not be faulted, We wish them every success with their business, they certainly deserve it, many thanks.Written 19 February 2020
