About

An adventure that brings the community together

The story

Plan BE Rentals was founded in January 2022 in Playas del Coco, Costa Rica. It began with four vehicles, each given its own name — a small fleet, a big idea, and the belief that travel works best when travellers and locals actually meet.

Today, Plan BE is more than a rental company. It's a community-based fleet: part-time residents and travellers can add their own vehicles, share operating costs 50/50, and benefit from a flexible, collaborative rental network. Everyone contributes. Everyone benefits.

Our mission

Be or Not to Be

We believe in mutual support and sharing. Our concept is simple: pool available resources — cars, accommodations, knowledge — to create a smoother, more human travel experience along Costa Rica's Pacific coast.
