If you’ve found your ideal set of wheels but don’t have the cash to pay upfront, Expedia has you covered. With our Book Now Pay Later option, you’ll only pay in full when it’s time to collect your car in Tamarindo. The rental company will also put a hold on your credit card for the security deposit. Some cheaper deals may require you to pay upfront, but you’ll see this at the time of booking. Whether you’re searching for something small and zippy or a van to accommodate the family, Expedia is the gateway to your next great adventure.

Read over the policy to be certain, but most prepaid rentals are eligible for a full refund if you advise us more than six hours prior to the pickup time. There are some exceptions though. Your booking will have more info, or just click through to our Customer Service Portal.

Premium, full-size, intermediate … The choice is all yours! However, compact models are the top pick in Tamarindo.

Compact vehicles are a little roomier than economy models and are suited to solo travelers, couples and families on a budget.
