Our story

Pura Shuttle was born out of a frustration familiar to anyone who has travelled in Costa Rica: unreliable shuttles, opaque pricing, and the anxiety of not knowing whether your driver will actually show up at 4 AM for an airport transfer.

We built Pura Shuttle to solve this — not by replacing local drivers, but by giving them the tools to deliver a consistently excellent experience, and by giving travellers the transparency and support they deserve.

Every provider on our platform has been personally vetted. Every booking comes with a fixed price, a named driver, and a direct WhatsApp line to our concierge team. If your flight is delayed, we know before you do. If something goes wrong, we are reachable within minutes.

We are based in Costa Rica and deeply committed to the local communities we work with. Pura vida.

What we stand for

Trust first

Every provider on our platform is manually vetted. We verify licences, insurance, and vehicle condition before a single booking is accepted.

Human support

Our concierge team is reachable via WhatsApp before, during, and after every trip. Real people, not bots.

Fixed prices

The price you see is the price you pay. No surge pricing, no hidden fees, no surprises at the end of your journey.

Local roots

We work exclusively with Costa Rican transport providers — keeping money in local communities and supporting sustainable tourism.
