I went to the website, filled out the car rental form, and it sent me to a company called nativos. I messaged you twice to make sure this is the right company because the security deposit is $1500 not $500. No one has gotten back to me yet.
Jairo is the man! I just got back from a 2 week trip to Costa Rica and thanks to your videos I reached out to Jairo for my rental car. He made the whole process simple and stress free. Great communication via email. Super friendly. And my car (SUV) was exactly as described and priced. Thanks to both of you gentlemen!
Rented a car over 25 years ago, I had them take the hub caps off as they were a problem for theft and pot holes removing them hence a charge back on deposit ...also take a good video or photos with employees or rental outlet in background before driving away and same when returning
I used you guys last year and everything you are saying about your company is true. You guys even upgraded me to a 4x4. I belong to a Facebook travel group and I’m posting this video for someone that is looking to rent a car in Costa Rica for an upcoming trip. Thanks and hi Mike!
I just rented a car in Costa Rica thru Jairos company and dropped it off this past wednesday.....he hooked me up with a major rental company and saved me hundreds of dollars compared with going direct with the rental company. I ended up extending my vacation twice and a quick email to Jairos company is all it took.....I needed to change the drop off location....no problem....one email....pick up in sjo, seem less....I could go on.,,.,.in a nutshell Jairos company is the real deal....I don't think he works with the cheapest companies but you will get a great car at a fair rate and great service..
Exactly thats is what happens in Costarica the must expency and screw place to rent a car.Jairo is the way to go,thank Michael for helping the people not to have a negative experience viciting a beautiful country and good people.
I just got back from CR 2 weeks ago and rented a car through Jairo. He was very responsive and the transaction went very smoothly. This was the second time I used his company and highly recommend.
I just wanted to say I rented through Jairo and his company in May of 23 with no issues at all. I had every question asked in a timely manner and had zero issues changing my reservation due to flight changes. I couldn’t recommend a company more. You won’t regret using them for your rental.
Jairo is the real deal, next trip to Costa Rica I will be using his agency to rent my car! Thanks, Michael for the update on car rental while in Costa Rica :)
Im sorry Jairo, I rented a car from your co. but in Liberia there was nobody at the counter... the competitor next door helped me and beat your price! I was scammed before, Budget in San Jose charged us 3000$ deposit. I hope next time we can do business or let me know how to meet your guy in Liberia. So i know firsthand the twisted business of renting in C.R.
my husband died in CR, when vacationing and I never got the deposit back from the car he rented the rental car never send me a deposit back, I was so stress out with the situation to fight it
Months ago in a video you recommended 2 major car rental businesses I could trust. I asked for quotes from both for 2 weeks in March in a manual economy category. I then contacted Jairo and he beat them by $200. Believe you said they were slightly older vehicles, but the transparency and service sure are encouraging. I'm convinced but don't have specific dates yet.
We used Jairo in June and had the same experience. I kept asking him about a deposit or something to "make me feel secure that we did in fact have a car reservation" he kept saying. " don't worry about it, you have your car." AND WE DID the checkout process was super smooth. Definitely will use him when I go back this fall.
Love your videos. I recently visited La Fortuna, Costa Rica after several research (including your videos!) I took your advice and renting car with your buddy, no hidden fees or surprised at checkout. Happy experience. Pura vida

I know so many people that have been "surprised" by additional car rental charges and insurance. I tell people to check out your website first, if they plan to come to Costa Rica and rent a car. Plus, to watch your videos
If you are a local and want to rent a car from them they wont give you their service. I had a group of friends coming and they texted them and gave them a quote but when i first texted them they treated me poorly, saying they didn’t have cars for the days we needed them, something along the lines of “no tenemos, perdón”. Not even a hi nor how can we help you. Its fucked and unfair they do that and the quotes weren’t any better than the competitors.
I used Adobe back in July , and they were pretty good , no surprises .... always look to save a bit though , so I will check with Jairo for my inevitable return to CR ... i hope to move there permanently in the next 5 years .... Cheers
I think you'll find in a lot of places the car rental company will put a hold of $2,000 upwards on your credit card if you don't take full insurance. I always take full insurance on hire cars because you don't know what will happen. We rented a car in New Zealand and some idiot ran into the side of us. With full insurance we didn't have to pay any more. Without it, it would have been $5,000.
So I wasn't having a lot of luck getting information on renting a car for a couple of days. I remembered I had watched this video so I went to Michael's website and filled out the car rental form and was contacted by Jairo's company a couple of hours later. A couple of emails back and fourth and i was all booked at a fair price!! Really impressed!!,thanks guys.
I just got back from Costa Rica! Thank you so much for your advice and thank you Jairo! Your firm was the most expensive of anything I could find online here in the US. BUT - I spoke to so many who booked with the deals I found here and spent twice as much as they booked when they got there and found out about your 'local' insurance requirements. YOUR prices were inclusive, and I paid EXACTLY what you said I would. I don't mind paying for my vacations, I HATE being ambushed when I get there. OH, and I LOVE driving my standard transmission cars...so much fun. You gave me an automatic, a highly recommended upgrade. Thanks to the powers that I listened .... You have a LOT of steep roads there, I would not have been able to go on the hikes I did from all the work it would have taken to drive a manual transmission. Unfortunately, I found your TH-cam channel too late to have you schedule my trip for me, but your advice was invaluable. I travel to Central America frequently; I will be in touch the next time I travel. Thank both of you for making my trip so much better.
Second time seeing Jairos name appear as the most reliable car rental experience in Costa Rica. Just messaged them now to book my rental for our honeymoon.
@@Vicodxn it couldn’t have been any easier. I was a little skeptical about the whole completion through WhatsApp.. but it was honestly such a flawless process. Plus it also helps that he’s always responsive. I’d 100000% recommend going through Jairo vs booking through something like Kayak or Alamo directly.
The sunglasses help to build some trust 🙂 LOL. I sent my rental car quote request even though I have one booked with Enterprise. Their quote was only $20 less than Enterprise; the total is close to $600. But Enterprise gave me much better protection. Enterprise was a much better value.
I believe travel vloggers named "Eric and Sarah" also recommended Jairo! So I'll definitely be in contact soon with Jairo for my month trip in August!!
Another good one! It's good you repeat them - I've seen over 600 and it's not always easy to remember where the info I'm looking for is although doing a search helps 🤪🌿🌺🤪
Hey Mike PURA VIDA BROTHER, hey Mike I'm from Fort Lauderdale South Florida, I'm now Living in NANDAYURE Guanacaste, C,R, hey Mike I'm visiting my hometown, here in South Florida, wow some of my friends paying for a small room are paying, $800, to $1000, a month, and some of them that have houses are renting rooms is Bad, here in the STATES, I'm so happy that you made a video back saying what was your cost payments and man that video made me move to ,C,R, 4 and 1/2,yrs ago, my payments are less then $700, a mouth, my wife has 2 house, it help a lot, I'm SUPER HAPPY, BECAUSE OF YOUR VIDEOS, YOUR THE BEST SAYING LIKE IT IS, TAKE CARE AMIGO, ( please make a new video of your new payments on living in ,C,R, )
I contacted Jairo for a quote about a car rental gave him my details he replied once and then no contact idk what happened so I went with another company and now I’m here in Costa Rica pura vida!!!😂
The insurance is very confusing. What is the required govt called? How much should it cost? Will the insurance y-u prepay for on expedidia really work.
We saw this place on TH-cam and we decided to take the risk but we shouldn't have worried because they are not only legit but incredibly helpful. The price was the lowest I could find and that is normally a bad thing when it comes to car hire. not so in this case. The car was delivered to my hotel on arrival and it was even collected at short notice a day early at the end of our holiday after I realized that I had the dates wrong. I couldn't contact Alamo to explain but these guys were on hand even on a Sunday evening to help sort us out. you may look at all the reviews and be pessimistic that these are all fake but the reality is they just trying to be the good Samaritans in a market that is often polluted by shady tactics and rip off merchants. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to friends and family.
yes, all the car companies have a security deposit. some in costa rica have a deposit as high as $5000. I'm trying out Jairo for the first time in December. The deposit being $500 definitely helps free up room in my credit card.
Hi Michael, Hi D’Angelo, you guys are awesome 👏 👏👏.another great video! Thank you for keeping us informed 😋 I will be traveling to Costa Rica soon, I would love to use Jairo’s rent a car services, I just can’t find the form. Could you please help me with that. I will really appreciate it Looking forward to speaking with you soon!!! Take care guys ❤️❤️
Sorry, not my experience at all. On the front end the options he gives you has two levels you choose from. We couldn't get a car without either declining coverage or choosing one.
Sorry to bother you again, I accidentally lost the address to the man you had on who ships items to Costa Rica from Oxnard. Please send his information again. Sincerely Eric Hertzen
I just returned from CR Aug 29th and used Jairo for car rental. Just as he says, it helped us to avoid some potential problems. I strongly recommend printing the PDF with the quote. We arrived at 8 pm and got to the car rental place. It is shared bwn Enterprise and Alamo. Initially they had a car for us but at a different price and no insurance. Took the PDF out - the original quote was honored. I also recommend FULL COVERAGE - upon return, a crack on the R rear tail light was found (barely noticeable) and they said that it was not noted on the car inspection form when I rented the car initially. Then the lady noticed I had full cover. I filled some paperwork for insurance and problem solved. The way people drive in CR (offensive driving) Full Coverage is a necessity. I will rent again from Jairo. I also got travel insurance and other help during this trip from TravelCostaRicaNow.com and I can testify that Michael is the real thing and truly surrounds himself with people with integrity.
Want to rent a car w/ Jairo? Go to our website, TravelCostaRicaNOW.com Scroll down and fill out the quick car rental form and Jairo will have it ASAP

Done! Waiting for a quote now. Thanks for the great advice Mike.
Just sent a reservation. Hope to hear back soon!
@@cdelatorrebueno no worries, u will.
Government needs to crack down on scams in Costa Rica evidently

Thanks for the recommendation. I booked an SUV for 2 weeks in March.
Great price and no money down.
Rent through Sixt rental car they’re the most RELIABLE I’VE EXPERIENCED IN COSTA RICA.

Dude, that’s the biggest coffee cup I’ve EVER SEEN. An excellent advertisement for Costa Rican coffee!

Jairo is legit. Everything went well and will definitely rent cars from him again. Thank you.
Using CRCR on 9/6. Thank you for the information
Jairo is the real deal, next trip to Costa Rica I will be using his agency to rent my car! Thanks, Michael for the update on car rental while in Costa Rica :)
How did you reach Jairo? His shirt notes one company and the website referenced links to Adobe.

Glad to hear you've had great experiences. very nice
I'M GETTING EXCITED!!! And THIS is gonna help us TREMENDOUSLY!!! Coming in May and I think I'll take his advice and book it NOW!!
yup, good decision.
We are also coming in May! Just came across this! Hoping that Jairo will help us out

Adobe is the biggest and best. BUT also the most expensive.
We rent our car for 12 days in Costa Rica from Jairo we can assure you all they said is true .. we had a great experience!!
Great video. Very educating. Looks like Ralph Lauren shades

We really like your vidéos and honesty.

Just submitted an inquiry for March 1-9 2024 hopefully will hear from him/Jairo soon, before seeing your video I already have a car rental booked.
Hi Peter! We're thinking of renting through Jairo. What was your experience and process to book your car rental?
100% facts with every word they said. I now hitchhike and take public transportation haha
Second time seeing Jairos name appear as the most reliable car rental experience in Costa Rica. Just messaged them now to book my rental for our honeymoon.
May i ask how your experience was with him? i am planning a trip for Nov

Love your videos!
muchas gracias
The insurance is very confusing. What is the required govt called? How much should it cost? Will the insurance y-u prepay for on expedidia really work.
Are there better price rental car options for long term rentals, like two months?
Can you go over the insurance? to buy or not to buy I heard that's the scam
what is the name of Jairos company?

how about mopeds tho im planning to go back in december
Does he not have his own website to book cars?
What's in your hummer feeders?
sugar water
Sooooo. There’s a security deposit?? So the price is not the price then?
yes, all the car companies have a security deposit. some in costa rica have a deposit as high as $5000. I'm trying out Jairo for the first time in December. The deposit being $500 definitely helps free up room in my credit card.
If I rent my own car does google maps work just fine to navigate me through to my different destinations? Thanks for the helpful info
yes. but Waze I think works better here.
How do I rent from Jairo? What is his website?
Hi Michael, Hi D’Angelo, you guys are awesome 👏 👏👏.another great video!

Sounds like this is an advertisement for dudes company which is his friend.
He is a friend and it is an advertisement... but if it weren't true, he would only be a friend and I wouldn't advertise him.
Your deposits are $500 but your cars are overpriced smh

He’s a ripoff too
Sorry to bother you again,
I accidentally lost the address to the man you had on who ships items to Costa Rica from Oxnard. Please send his information again.

Bullcrap

I can't donate because I'm unemployed so I will have to watch another channel.
