CR Surf Travel Company: Reviews
Fantastic experience: We have nothing but good things to say about Greg and the service he provided. We booked a hire car through him and everything was perfect - the car, the delivery of the vehicle and the customer service. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him
Fantastic experience: Greg alleviated all of our stress when trying to figure out a car rental for our trip. He provided us 3 options with explanations for each and then answered any questions we had beyond that. Once we decided which option we wanted he handled the booking for us and explained what to do at the airport . It was a very simple process and much less involved than some other websites made it out to be. He also has rental car tips available that are valuable information. Greg was also readily available for any questions that arose during our trip. Do yourself a favor and don’t stress or look any further for booking a rental car, Greg is the best!
Fantastic experience: Great service, helped me with cheaper car rentals for the last 2 years.
Thank you Sheri! I will do my best to continue offering you the best service.
Fantastic experience: I discovered CR Surf Travel Company on Facebook. Greg was nothing but helpful and honest. Renting a car at Alamo was easier than I anticipated. It was quick and stress free. I will say a mid-size SUV in America and midsize and Costa Rica have different meanings.If your questioning the size of the vehicle, go with the bigger one! I would definitely rent here again.
I appreciate that you took the time to post a review for my travel service. And yes, the bigger SUVs have bigger motors for going up steep hills and bigger tires for handling the potholes.
Fantastic experience: Greg (CR Surf Travel Co) was helpful, responsive, offered a very fair price and quality rental car, and made the entire process easy.
Thank you Erik! I hope you had a great trip to Costa Rica.
Fantastic experience: In the U.S. I rent straight from the big car rental companies, but I'm glad I didn't in Costa Rica -- it all works differently there. Greg (recommended by my travel agent) was extremely helpful -- he clearly laid out all of the options and we ended up with a nearly brand-new car that was exactly what we needed. Everything went smoothly and he was available in case any problems came up (luckily none did).
Thank you Josh. Yes, around the world the third party liability insurance is included in the rate, while in Costa Rica they add it to the total afterward. The companies I partner with are clear with their rates so there are no surprises.
Fantastic experience: Greg, Helped us obtain a car rental through his website. The car rental went smooth and had no issues. The price was better than other well known websites. I do recommend that if you rent a car in Costa Rica, you get the full coverage, so you don’t have to worry about the vehicle. Costa Rica is beautiful, but the road system in rural areas is not great and is easy to accidentally damage the lower parts and undercarriage of the car.
Hi Angelo, thank you for sending in the review. I'm glad you had a smooth trip.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Greg, his very professional approach and reassuring ongoing communication, from the original engagement, trough to delivery of the rental car, our trip to Costa Rica would not have been so great. Highly appreciated and strongly recommended for anyone planning to travel through that beautiful country!
I'm so happy you enjoyed your trip to Costa Rica. Please let me know which you are ready to plan your next trip.
Fantastic experience: Special thanks to Greg at CR surf travel for making our experience with our car rental seamless. We arrived from the airport and our car was ready for pick up, no delay or issues. Same experience for returning the car on our departure day. Highly recommended!
Thank you Brittany for sharing your positive experience. I look forward to helping you in the future.
Fantastic experience: Had the most amazing adventure in Costa Rica thanks to our trusty 4x4 vehicle, courtesy of Greg, thanks for educating us and helping us rent it!
That's awesome to hear. After almost 30 years traveling there myself I have found a few gems to share.
Positive experience: Greg provided me with a quote through Alamo at the Liberia airport. To be transparent, I did run into some issues at the counter when it came time to pay for the rental (I ended up paying extra for an additional driver, when I should not have needed to do that because it was included in the initial quote). However, Greg spoke with Alamo immediately and rectified the situation. I was provided a refund for the additional funds I paid within a few days. Despite this, I would use his service again as he responds to messages very promptly, and the quotes he provided were significantly lower than quotes I found online on my own.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. That is one extra reason to use my service since I can assist even after the trip if there is a mistake on the bill, or if you have an accident and need help getting documents for a claim.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service, Greg was so helpful and quick to respond. We got a great deal on our rental car and Greg even gave us his details if we needed anything during our stay. The car was great and no issues at all. Would highly recommend using Greg.
Thank you Rachel. I'm glad you enjoyed trip and look forward to helping you plan the next one.
Fantastic experience: Very positive experience with Greg on a 2 week car hire. Greg was grateful with giving us proactive advice, he was responsive and helpful throughout the process and secured us a great rate with all insurance matters included and explained. Thank you!
Hi Hemal, I appreciate you taking the time to send this in. I hope you enjoyed your Costa Rica vacation.
Fantastic experience: Great rental And the price was much better than without Greg He is the best for rentals and price
Hi Marsha, thank you for the kind words.
Fantastic experience: Greg was great. Our car rental was excellent and everything was as promised. He was very responsive, had great suggestions, and even saved us some money. I will be using his services again. Pura Vida
Pura Vida Jamie! I'm thankful for your trust in choosing our company to help with your rental.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service on hire car for out trip from London to Costa Rica after seeing CR recommended in a FB group! The car was delivered to our San José airport hotel as promised the morning after a late arrival from the UK and the paperwork quickly completed. No extra charge for delivery back to a Liberia airport was a bonus. Greg was very helpful from start to finish with my questions, and knowing that we had him as a direct contact should we have run into any issues was very reassuring, but it wasn't necessary. Would recommend! Thank you!
Thank you Karen for sharing your positive experience. It helps that I partner with some great car rental companies in Costa Rica.
Fantastic experience: Greg has helped us rent cars for all 3 of our trips to Costa Rica. We've gotten great prices and wonderful service. I would highly recommend using CR Surf Travel Company for your trips to CR!
I appreciate the positive feedback Krista and hope you will contact me again for your next Costa Rica trip. Pura vida!
Fantastic experience: I found Greg’s contact through the Costa Rica Facebook group when looking up car rentals. After reading some worrying posts of people getting scammed in the group, I wanted to make sure my friend and I would not only get the best price, but also a reliable car rental company with great customer service. Greg was quick to respond to my WhatsApp message and answered all my questions. He was able to find us a good quote with everything we were looking for and explained everything very well, especially when it came to choosing the appropriate insurance coverage. Greg got us a car from Alamo, the Paseo Colon location. The employees there spoke perfect English and were very patient when it came to checking the car for any damages when we picked up the rental. They even tried to help us link our phone to the Bluetooth system in the car. Unfortunately it wasn’t working, but this wasn’t a huge deal breaker for us. The car was a brand new car, 2025 model and clean. We returned the car to the Liberia location with no hassles and was refunded our damage deposit after a week or so. If you need someone to help you with finding a car rental, Greg is your guy. I highly recommend him and he will be available to help you every step of the way. Next time we’re in Costa Rica, we will definitely reach out for his help again!
Thank you Katherine. It is important for me that travelers don't get surprised at the rental office and have the smoothest trip possible.
Fantastic experience: Seamless car rental for our 10 day stay in Costa Rica. I found Greg through a Facebook travel page and I am so glad I did! No hidden fees, our vehicle was nice, and the process was a breeze. Highly recommend using Greg and also very highly recommend renting a 4 wheel SUV (roads are no joke!). Thanks!
Thank you Tiffany! Yes, some roads make it worth it to have 4wd, while most are well paved. The extra horsepower helps with passing slower trucks, too, since most roads are only two lanes. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip.
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience with this car rental. Greg was very responsive when booking the car and gave me all the info I needed a head time. The pick up process was smooth and hassle free with no surprises. The staff was friendly and clearly explained everything. I will definitely use them again next time I go back to Costa Rica.
Thank you for the review Keri. That's what I want to hear - "hassle free"
Fantastic experience: We used Greg Gordon to secure a car for our trip to Costa Rica. He got us a better price than we were able to get on our own and it included full coverage insurance so we didn't have to worry while there. When we arrived, everything was exactly as promised. Will definitely contact Greg again when we plan our next trip to Costa Rica!
After 29 years of booking rental vehicles I have refined the skill of finding the best price from a trusted rental company in Costa Rica. I hope I can continue to provide excellent service for you on your next trip.
Fantastic experience: If you need a rental car at a great price with amazing service look no further. Greg got us a rental car for less than we were seeing online and helped us to navigate the confusing CR rental car insurance market as well. Greg saved us a lot of time by arranging the car to be dropped off at our hotel as well. We will definitely be using Greg for all our rental car needs for CR in the future.
Thank you Jeff for sending this in. I'm glad you had an amazing trip and look forward to hearing from you again.
Fantastic experience: Our rental car process went smooth and Greg was amazing with all the information he provided about our rental. We will definitely reach out to CR Surf Travel Company for our next trip to Costa Rica.
Thank you Ana, I look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Very easy and straightforward to deal with everything was exactly how it should’ve been. I would definitely be using this company again.
I appreciate the kind words Travis. Thank you for sending this in.
Fantastic experience: Thank goodness for Greg! The rental process was super easy and the car+insurance was a lot cheaper than any other prices I could find. We are definitely using him again!
Hola! That is great to hear that I was able to find you the best price on a quality rental vehicle. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic experience: Greg did a great job of explaining everything. Would definitely work with again.
Thank you Jeremy for the review. It really helps my business and other travelers looking to plan their trip.
Fantastic experience: Greg, helped us to book a rental car at SJO. Everything went well, he was also super helpful and customer oriented when we contacted him to get help with reaching the meeting point. I truly recommend !
I appreciate the positive feedback and hope I can help you again in the future.
Fantastic experience: Greg was such a pleasure to work with! We had last minute changes to our itinerary and he was so helpful and nice to accommodate our schedule. Definitely recommend him!
Hi Martin, I know that plans can change at the last minute so I make every effort to be available to assist with making those changes. Email, whatsapp, FB messenger - I am easy to reach. Thank you for the great review.
Fantastic experience: We rented a car through CR Surf Travel and it was excellent experience. Greg explained everything and took care of everything. Highly recommend!!!
Thank you Kate! I am glad you had a wonderful trip. That is the 'pura vida' of Costa Rica.
Fantastic experience: We just want to take a minute to thank CR surf travel company for helping us get a vehicle in our visit to Costa Rica. Greg was very specific and clear with a lot of information on the type of vehicle and price. Was very affordable, low gas mileage and full coverage. We will definitely use Greg and CR surf travel company for our next visit to Costa Rica.
Thank you Ariel for the praises. I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip and hope to hear from you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Greg was great. Helped us to rent a car at lower price - and everything went very smoothly. I definitely recommend him to help you with your trip arrangements,
Thank you Lisa, that is my goal - to provide fair prices and excellent customer service. I appreciate you sending this in.
Fantastic experience: Greg at CR Surf Travel Company is the absolute best! From before throughout and after our trip he stayed current with us, hooked us up with a great discount on our vehicle, explained all of the crazy details involved in renting cars etc in Costa Rica, and basically made our whole trip stress free! Do yourself a favor and just work through him so you don't end up making any of the dumb mistakes that are easy to make renting cars in CR! Greg was so patient and answered all of my questions right away on Whatsapp; such an excellent person and businessman!
Thank you Meg. I strive to make every experience a smooth one for my travel clients.
Fantastic experience: CR Surf is the only company to work with when you come to Costa Rica. Greg Gordon was very responsive in our last minute arrangements, also was able to lower the prices we had been given. Customer service is the name of the game!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am stoked you had a great trip.
Fantastic experience: I was told by a travel agent to use Greg for booking a car and so I called him to see what he could do. We flew into San Jose airport at 6 am and left at 1159 pm. We had zero problems with the rental process. I would recommend Greg for all your car rental needs.
Thank you Brad. I'm glad to partner with Alamo, whose San Jose office is open 24/7. Let me know when you are ready to return to Costa Rica.
Fantastic experience: Greg was great,.. fast and efficient. Got us a great deal on a rental car and when we had to extend, Alamo told us to go through him again to extend as he would get a better price,.. and he did!!! Thanks Greg!
I appreciate the positive review Liam. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Renting a car in Costa Rica can be daunting, with so many stories of hidden fees and unreliable companies from individuals going with the 'cheapest' option. We were so relieved to find CR Surf. From our initial inquiry, they were incredibly responsive and transparent, answering every question with detail and patience. The entire process, from booking, picking up the car to dropping it off, was effortless. If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy car rental experience in Costa Rica, I wholeheartedly recommend CR Surf.
Thank you so much for sharing this review with visitors to my business page. After 29 years renting vehicles in Costa Rica, I have found the easiest and most affordable options for my clients.
Fantastic experience: We rented a car for a week from La Fortuna to SJO. Everything went exactly how Greg said, from the pick up at Alamo, to the "drop off" by leaving it at our final hotel for Alamo to pick up. Best of all--it was the lowest price I could find!
Thank you Caroline. Please let me know when you are ready to plan your next Costa Rica vacation.
Fantastic experience: Greg arranged a rental car for us through Alamo. Pricing was fair, and the pick up and return were hassle free. Would definitely using their services.
Thank you Ken. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Positive experience: Greg Gordon was great to work with. Our rental car was delivered to our hotel first thing in the morning. They upgraded for no charge with a Hyundai touson 4x4. Easy process. I saved slot by going using Greg and Alamo.
Thank you Rebecca. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip and hope to hear from you again in the future to plan your next one.
Fantastic experience: I reached out to Greg regarding a car rental because quite honestly I was in a panic reading all the “insurance” (Costa Rica) comments online. The process with Greg was so very smooth and took no effort on my behalf which I was grateful for. I even changed the reservation about a month before and that was seamless too. Thank you for all the help!!! Would definitely recommend your services!
Thanks Jenifer. I know the insurance options in Costa Rica can be confusing so I am up front in explaining each option and how much each costs. This way there are no surprises.
Fantastic experience: Greg was very responsive and great to work with! Any questions I had he answered very quickly! The directions and communication were also very clear and we definitely would use him again!
Thank you Rhonda. I enjoyed helping you with your 7 passenger Fortuner SUV rental in Costa Rica. It is a great ride.
Fantastic experience: Our SUV was perfect. It was in great shape and was excellent on mountain roads. The service was second to none- when we visit again, this will be our go to car rental company. Thank you!
Hi Kelly, I appreciate the positive feedback. I'm glad the Rav4 worked for you.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Greg for booking our 4x4 rental. I saved $400.00 dollars on our 12 day trip! I shopped around before I messaged you on messenger and you had the best price with no hidden fees! The suv was through Alamo and everything went smoothly!
That is awesome you saved so much on your rental. I compare rates with the Costa Rica rental companies I trust and pass that savings on to you.
Fantastic experience: greg was able to arrange rentals for me that worked out great. Will definitely use again
Thank you Sunil for sharing your experience using us to help with your Vitara 4wd SUV rental.
Fantastic experience: We recently came back from Costa Rica and had a wonderful experience, using Greg’s services. He took care of our private transport arrangements and vehicle rental. We had 0 issues and everything was arranged properly. I will be using Greg and his company for future travel arrangements! I highly recommend him. Organized and responds quickly and has good connections.
Thank you Colin. This is the level of service I strive to give to all of my travel clients. I hope to hear from you again soon.
Fantastic experience: I spent about a month searching for the right car rental, struggling to figure out the best fit with all the confusing fees and third-party insurance options. Everything seemed either too good to be true or way too complicated—until I found Greg Gordon on Facebook. As a travel agent, he was incredibly helpful, fluent in both English and Spanish, and provided me with three different car and insurance options. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free from start to finish. We ended up renting through Alamo Car Rental in Liberia, and the experience was fantastic. The staff was super friendly and helpful, even assisting us with an upgrade. We went with a 4x4 truck and third-party liability insurance (a must-have!), which cost $800 for 8 days. There was also a $1,000 refundable deposit, but it was just a hold and didn’t even show up on my credit card statement. Plus, they offered free shuttle service pickups, making the process even easier. Overall, this was the best car rental experience I’ve ever had. If you’re traveling to Costa Rica and need a rental, I highly recommend working with Greg Gordon—he takes all the stress out of the process!
Thank you Coby. We are happy you found us!
Fantastic experience: Everything was simple and the price is what was quoted. They even put coolers in my car. I was able to leave the car at the airport for an extra fee.
Thank you Kelley for the review. Excellent customer service is my priority.
Fantastic experience: Great company to deal with car rentals and beyond. Enjoyed the excellent communication and ease of reservations. We plan on using more of the services in the near future and highly recommend!
Thank you Brad. I am happy you enjoyed your rental.
Fantastic experience: Greg was a HUGE help for our trip. My wife and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary and Greg was able to help us plan, pick best options, and set us up with other great people. I HIGHLY encourage you to reach out and use Greg; his experience and expertise were top notch
Thank you Ken for posting. Pura vida!
Fantastic experience: Greg reserved a car for us and it was cheaper than the price we got quoted on our own. The experience was great and I would definitely use him again.
Thank you Amanda for the review. I am happy to assist when you are ready to return to Costa Rica.
Fantastic experience: Greg was an amazing support both before and during our trip to Costa Rica in January/February 2025. We rented a vehicle through him provided by Alamo. Unfortunately we got into an accident in Costa Rica, however Greg was quick to respond and help us contact Alamo. Greg was a really helpful support during the hectic time and also provided resources for drivers after we no longer had a rental. Thanks again for everything!!
Thank you Melora for sharing your experience. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation.
Fantastic experience: Greg was absolutely fabulous in assisting with our car rental. He helped organize the rental and the pick up to/from airport hotel by Adobe (rental company). His pricing was better than anywhere and he was always available for any questions I had. Would highly recommend!
Thank you for the positive feedback. Rates are always changing so I always comparing rates to find the best one for my clients.
Fantastic experience: Greg is amazing! He got me literally the car for 3 weeks 50% cheaper than it would have been had I gone on my own! Love the quick responses! I highly recommend Greg when you’re in CR and I definitely will use his services again. Thank you kindly :)
Thank you Sylwia. It's not just the good rates, but getting a quality vehicle from a reputable company are my priorities for my clients.
Fantastic experience: Greg was great to work with and made our trip and car rental experience so smooth. He was very responsive and patient with our many questions and quoted us a better rate than we could get on our own for the same vehicle, coverage, etc. We did purchase the full coverage insurance and ended up with some damage while our car was in a parking lot and Greg (correctly) assured us that we didn’t need to worry about it because we were covered. We wholeheartedly would use Greg again when renting a vehicle in CR and recommend him without hesitation. Don’t make it more difficult than necessary, go with Greg!
That is good advice Jennifer. Full coverage does offer peace of mind. I hope to hear back from you when you are ready to plan your next trip.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Greg in reserving a car for pickup at Liberia airport a week before my arrival. His price was all inclusive so I had no surprises when I got there. The car was ready and exactly what I ordered and very clean. I did have a slight problem with the car at one point which was the power steering went out and that was really bizarre because it was a very new car. However I pulled up at the rental place and explained the problem and they replaced it with a much nicer vehicle within five minutes and I was on my way. I took it back early and they only charged me for the time I needed it and used it. I highly recommend Greg as he was easy to work with and very responsive. Great experience!
Thank you Helen for sharing your experience in Costa Rica. Their great service is the main reason why I partner with Alamo. Having great rates is just a bonus.
Fantastic experience: My brother had rented from Greg a few times on Trippe side been on with him, and everything went great. This time I rented a car on my own from Greg tin December and again everything was perfect. Easy pick up and drop off, everything right on time, and the cost was exactly as quoted, I’ll definitely use Greg for my next Costa Rica car rental which I hope is sooner than later!
Thank you Kirk. It's always nice to hear from your family and help them with their transportation.
Fantastic experience: Greg has the inside track on Costa Rica surf destinations!! He came recommended from a friend and not only saved me money but also made planning the trip a total breeze, especially since he has all the local inside info on places, car rentals and excursion packages. I thought I could evaluate places to book in Costa Rica on my own but I had no idea how helpful it is to have a contact like Greg to know the best places and packages.... I mean secret places!!!!!! - CR Surf Travel Company!! 100% !!!!
Thank you Matt. I just want you to have such a great experience that you want to keep coming back to explore other parts of the country.
Fantastic experience: Great company and communication. Greg booked us a rental car at a better price than I could find anywhere else and the process was super easy. Highly recommend!
Hi Chad, that place looks incredible! Thank you for sharing your experience.
Fantastic experience: Waited till last minute to look at all the major car rental sites for my family's CR trip between Christmas and New Years and couldn't find any rentals. Found Greg and CR Surf Travel on Facebook forums and Greg was awesome! Gave me lots of great info and helped secure a last minute rental for my family of 6- thanks Greg!
Hi Jen, I'm happy your trip went smoothly. Let me know when you are ready to come back.
Fantastic experience: Rented a 4x4 passenger van that easily fit 8 adults and luggage. Van was brought to us at our airport hotel in San Jose on time with a very painless check in process. The van was absolutely perfect for us. It was very well appointed and virtually brand new. This van made it anywhere we wanted to go without any issues whatsoever. Extremely happy with and impressed with it. I even took a picture of it for our scrapbook! Check out process was a breeze, with them picking it up on time at our airport hotel. Overall, I’d give it 10 stars if I could.
Thank you Dave for the review. Yes, those vans are quite the ride for larger groups.
Fantastic experience: We have just returned from a trip to Costa Rica, where Greg helped us with car rental and contact with Alamo. We have only good things to say about the service Greg provided. Greg helped us choose a car and insurance before the trip, and gave us good advice along the way. The car itself and the contact with Alamo went smoothly and there were no problems at all. We had the car delivered to a hotel in San Jose and dropped it off 2 weeks later in Puerto Jimenez. We will definitely use Greg again :-). Kind regards, Malene G.
It is my goal that every client's rental experience goes smoothly. Thank you for sending this in.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Greg for the car rental service in Costa Rica. I had to modify our travel date over the holiday season. Greg assisted us in communicating with the car rental company and ensured we kept the great rate he had quoted us previously. I will definitely work with him again for our future trips.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I look forward to helping you in the future.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been renting cars in Costa Rica for nearly a decade, and I can confidently say that working with Greg has been a game-changer. From the start, Greg provided clear direction and made the entire rental process feel seamless and stress-free. His expertise and attention to detail saved me from hidden fees I wasn’t even aware of, ensuring I got the best possible deal. At the end of my trip, he thoroughly reviewed my final receipt and caught a $50 additional charge. He promptly addressed it with the rental agent and secured a reimbursement for me. I can’t recommend Greg highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who truly has your best interests at heart and will go above and beyond to ensure a smooth rental experience, Greg is your guy. I only wish I had known about him sooner!
Thank you Serena. I appreciate the kind works.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience hiring a car in Costa Rica for the 3 weeks we stayed. I instantly trusted Greg to help us choose the car, sort the insurance and arrange the collection and drop off at our hotel, at our chose times. The car was just what we needed and everything was very easy. Petrol and tolls were reasonable and having a car made it an extremely enjoyable and easy way to see this beautiful country. We will be back and will contact Greg when we do.
Thank you Charlotte. It is great to hear you had an enjoyable vacation.
Fantastic experience: Very happy with the service Greg at CR Surf Travel provided. Got us a great rate over high season and was available to assist us when our travel changed due to flight cancellations. Highly recommend.
High season is always tough to find a good value, but I try my best for my clients. I'm happy you had a good experience.
Fantastic experience: Thanks Greg for organising our car hire, it was so stress free and so much cheaper than all the other websites, we wish we had found you sooner
You are most welcome Nigel. I'm ready to help you on your next Costa Rica vacation.
Fantastic experience: Great experience renting from Greg at CR Surf. We had a Fortuner with roof racks that came in handy for surf boards, and we fit our whole party of seven in there no problem. Greg was available and easy to deal with and there were Alamos all over the country. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for the recommendation! I am always glad to help a fellow surfer.
Fantastic experience: Greg was super helpful. His recommendation was perfect for our needs and getting the car from Alamo was a simple and efficient process. The deal he managed to get us was almost half of what I would have paid going directly through Alamo. All went as described and staff were very friendly. Thanks again for the amazing service!
Thank you Alyson for sending this. I work to find the best rates on a quality vehicle like I am going myself.
Fantastic experience: We have rented a vehicle in Costa Rica with Greg more than once. Always excellent service and great rates!
Hi Rob, thank you for review. I'll always do my best to find you the best price on a newer vehicle from a company with excellent customer service.
Fantastic experience: I have now rented our rental vehicles through them twice and both times everything was super smooth with no problems! I will definitely use them again when returning to Costa Rica and renting a car.
Thank you Jane. I look forward to helping you again on your next trip.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with CR Surf Travel Company. Greg went way above and beyond in helping us with other aspects of our trip. And our rental car was perfect. Highly recommend!!!
Thank you Susan! I am happy you had a smooth trip and hope you return to Costa Rica soon.
Fantastic experience: I used Greg's services for car rental several time. He always gets us a good rate. He also very prompt and replies to our email right away. It make the whole rental process much easier!!!
Hi Maria, it is always nice to hear back from repeat clients. Thank you for the review.
Fantastic experience: I reached out to Greg last minute for a van rental for my family out of Liberia airport. He got me a better rate than through Alamo directly, was a great communicator and took time to answer my questions about which vehicle we should rent. Highly recommend, thank you Greg!
Thank you Stephanie. Although I partner with multiple rental companies, I work for you to find the best rate.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience renting a 4x4 SUV from Alamo via Greg. Everything went smoothly on pick up and return, with no surprises and the total cost was much less than the exact same thing had I booked directly with Alamo via their website. We planned on booking a tour via him as well, but wound up being sick most of our trip. Greg even emailed me after out trip to ensure everything went well. I absolutely 100% recommend Greg and will work with him for our next trip to Costa Rica.
Thank you Manny for sharing your experience with the rental. I hope you will want to come back soon.
Fantastic experience: Greg was very helpful and informative. He got us the best rates, and explained everything in detail. He offered assistance if we had any problems when we arrived to pick up our rental. He followed up with us and made sure that we had our very best experience. A+
As a former teacher, I appreciate the 'A+'. Those are hard to get. :)
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, good communication. Everything went exactly as we were promised. I'd highly recommend if you need a car in Costa Rica!!
Hi Peter! Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I am ready to help when you come back to Costa Rica.
Fantastic experience: Greg Gordon was great to deal with and very responsive. We even had mechanical while on vacation, I reached out and he was quick to respond and offer guidance. Thank you sir!
Hi Carson, my goal is that all my clients have the smoothest trip possible. Thank you for posting the review!
Fantastic experience: wonderful rental car experience. Highly recommend to everyone!!!
I appreciate the kind words Maria. Pura vida!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Greg. He has been so helpful with our car hire and trip. The pick up and drop off and car hire throughout was an easy process. Thank you so much for all your help.
Thank you Emily for the kind words. I hope I can assist on your next Costa Rica vacation.
Fantastic experience: We were worried about renting a car in CR because of all the horror stories we heard, but Greg took care of everything for us.
Thank you for sharing Serrin. I am glad you had a smooth trip and hope to help you again in the future.
Fantastic experience: I contacted Greg because of the positive reviews he’s received re rental vehicle out of San Jose airport. He asked where we were going and then suggested three different vehicles. We went with Alamo and a Suzuki 4x4, and decided on full insurance for peace of mind. Greg then organized everything with Alamo, no deposit required.Alamo delivered the vehicle to our hotel, we did all the paperwork and checked out the vehicle with the Alamo guy. The vehicle was clean, full of gas and had a cover at the back to hide the luggage. The driving was uneventful, vehicle drove well, and the cost all in for 10 days was $612 US. We had to deliver the vehicle back to the Alamo office which was the only challenge as we got lost twice. Thanks to Greg the vehicle rental was super easy!
Hi Kara, It is great to hear your trip went smoothly. Alamo is a great rental company in Costa Rica to partner with.
Fantastic experience: Quick to respond! Great pricing! No issues at all! Would use CR Surf Travel in the future!
Thank you Jennifer for the positive feedback. I look forward to hearing from you when you are ready to plan your next vacation.
Fantastic experience: Greg was very helpful and attentive in helping me secure a 6 week car rental in Costa Rica. The fees were straightforward with no surprises when I arrived at the counter. He was also readily available when I had a few minor issues with my car. This was a very easy and smooth experience and I’d definitely use him again!
I'm glad your trip went well Gina. Please let me know if I can be of any future assistance on your next Costa Rica trip.
Fantastic experience: Greg was fantastic assisting us with our car rentals. He went above and beyond with walking us through the process, answering questions and giving us tips about travel. I appreciate his prompt email replies. Highly recommend! I will definitely be booking again with him on our next visit.
Thank you Brandie. I am very happy you enjoyed your trip and look forward to helping you plan your next one.
Fantastic experience: I was worried that this place was too good to be true, but oh my gosh, they lived up to their other amazing reviews! Everything worked out smoothly and affordably! Thanks to Greg, a possible deal breaker on our honeymoon became a possibility. I am so grateful I found this company for car rental while I was in Costa Rica, and I definitely recommend to anyone who is having trouble finding affordable car rental options! Thank you so much Greg for making our honeymoon possible!!
Thank you Kylee. I hope your honeymoon was unforgettable and you return soon to Costa Rica.
Fantastic experience: We've been visiting Costa Rica for years, always driving ourselves to explore off-the-beaten-path spots. At first, we rented from local companies like Adobe and Vamos. Last year, I found Gordon at CRsurf through a Facebook group—his communication was easy, and he helped me secure the best rate and car model. We still rent from the same companies, but with his assistance, it’s even better. Highly recommend!
Thank you Mengling. I work with only companies who provide newer vehicles and excellent customer service, including Alamo, Adobe, and Vamos.
Fantastic experience: If you are going to Costa Rica. Greg is the man to get you a rental. With many complaints about Costa Rica rental companies changing prices as you show up or after returning vehicle. Greg takes all that worry away. What he states is exactly what you pay. Come on you go to Costa to relax. Take the worry out of rentals with CR surf. Smooth as silk. I am using him again.
I appreciate your kind words and hope you will return soon so I can help with your next adventure.
Fantastic experience: Greg at CR Surf and Travel is the best. Have used him multiple times now and always get excellent products and excellent service. So knowledgeable and helpful. 1000% recommend
Thank you Wes. It's great to have repeat clientele sharing their experience. I look forward to helping plan your next trip.
Fantastic experience: Greg was amazing for our recent trip to Costa Rica. He organized and booked our rental vehicle with ease, we were hit with no surprise charges. Greg was easy to reach throughout our whole ten days in Costa Rica and was able to adjust our booking when we decided to keep the car for an extra day. All in all, I would 100% recommend Greg's services to anyone looking to rent a car in Costa Rica, made the process easy and stress-free.
Thank you Jenna. After 28 years, I have learned to only work with the most trusted rental companies for the safety and comfort of my clients. Plus you get the best rates.
Fantastic experience: Contacted Greg with CR Surf Travel Company at the suggestion of several FB group members and were so happy we did! Greg was super helpful in coordinating our rental car for us and also other local suggestions. The process was easy and when we arrived, there were no surprises! Our vehicle was waiting for us at Alamo and we paid the exact price we were quoted. Car rental when traveling can be stressful sometimes, but not with Greg. We would definitely use his agency again.
Thank you Celeste! Alamo is very easy to work with and has some of the best rates most of the year.
Fantastic experience: Really happy with Greg and CR Surf Travel. Everything about our rental was easy and when we hit a snag Greg was right there helping us all the way. I would definately recommend this place.
Thank you for your feedback. That is one thing that sets us apart - we don't just make a reservation and forget about you. We assist throughout your trip if needed, just in case there are any hiccups.
Fantastic experience: Greg at CR Surf Travel made our car rental experience very easy & smooth. I had read so many blog stories about nightmares with other agencies used - not having the vehicle, insurance issues, agreed price not honored - BUT we had absolutely no issues with the reservation made for us by Greg. Thank you Greg!!!
Thank you Brenda! I'm glad it was a pleasurable experience and hope to assist with your next vacation.
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly impressed by my experience with Greg!! I rented a 4x4 SUV and he took out all the legwork, while also getting me a better deal than what I was seeing online. Very simple process. Thanks so much!
Thank you Lacy, having rented vehicles myself for over 25 years, I've learned to avoid those pitfalls, and pass that experience on to helping my travel clients. I hope to hear again from you soon.
Fantastic experience: I traveled to Costa Rica with several friends in April 2024. We needed to rent 2 cars but were quickly confused about taxes and fees. My sister had just gone down to CR with her family and used CR Surf Travel (for the first time and by recommendation) and highly recommended. So I got on the website and emailed Greg. He got back to me right away with ALL the information I needed. The rental was so easy. The drop-off was even easier. Nearly effortless. Cannot recommend his services enough. You won’t regret it. And he was available during our trip for questions!
Thank you Leigh Ann for sharing your experience. I'm glad your trip went smoothly.
Fantastic experience: Greg Gordon of CR Travel has provided me excellent service in obtaining a rental car when needed. In fact I have been utilizing his services on and off for the past several years and would not hesitate to recommend his services to others.
Thank you Tony! I look forward to seeing you again in Costa Rica.
Fantastic experience: We used CR Surf to book an off-road vehicle for our Costa Rica trip. Everything went smoothly and we got a good discount for the car rental. We checked on our own and with other discounts but Greg got us the best price with Alamo. Will use again!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm glad you got a great price for a quality vehicle. Alamo is great to work with.
Fantastic experience: We definitely recommend using Greg for your rental car needs in Costa Rica. He made the process so easy and was very quick to respond if I had any questions. The car was exactly as expected and there were no surprise fees. Thanks for all your help Greg!
Thank you Renee for the positive feedback. I'm glad you had an enjoyable experience.
Fantastic experience: Greg from CR surf travel company was incredibly helpful. He helped coordinate our Car Rental as well as multiple vacation activities. And restaurants. He also coordinated a driver to pick us up from the airport and drive us hours away to our Airbnb. This was a seamless experience. We had a wonderful time at Costa Rica. And Greg was very responsive the entire time. Highly recommend.
Thank you Vincent. I am so glad you had a good time in Costa Rica and I look forward to helping you plan your next trip.
Fantastic experience: We used Greg's service to rent a car in Costa Rica. The company he booked us with was waiting for us with a sign and made sure we were well taken care of. The car was great and worked perfectly for our trip. Definitely recommend using CF Surf Travel!!!
I appreciate you taking the time to send in a review. It helps other travelers feel more secure in knowing they are getting great service for a quality vehicle.
Fantastic experience: Greg has helped me a couple of times with a rental car in Costa Rica. Both times the process was seamless and he arranged for me to pick up the car at the hotel. I will definitely use his help again the next time I need a car in Costa Rica.
Thank you Chrissy. The rental companies I work with have excellent customer service. That makes my job a lot easier.
