The newest business to sign up with San Pancho Life is Gecko Rent a Car.  This is the place to go if you need to rent a car to get around in this area.  They are one of the most highly recommended by anyone who knows what's what in our area.  We were in the Denver airport getting ready to board our flight to PV and overheard someone asking another person who they should rent a car from in Puerto Vallarta and the person's answer was "Gecko of course!"  We wholeheartedly agreed.  

Even if you don't need a car you might need to rent an awesome fishing charter boat.  We have done this through Gecko and can tell you that this is one of the best ways to see the area by boat as well as bring home a delicious, tasty dinner!

And we saved the best for last!  Even if you don't need a car or a fishing trip or a stand-up paddle board... you should still go to their site and download their tourist info guide.  It is a little treasure map, loaded with priceless information to make the best of your time in Jalisco and Nayarit.  

Welcome, Gecko!
