What do you need to rent a car in Tamarindo?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.

Where can I find a Tamarindo car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are found in Tamarindo. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, take note that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Tamarindo?
You'll want to add collision protection while reserving your Tamarindo rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24-hour emergency help, you can breathe easy knowing you'll be covered in the event of a mishap. Simply opt in to this plan while reserving your rental vehicle.
Can I drive in Tamarindo with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
