What happens if I need to cancel my Tamarindo car reservation?
We've got good news! You should receive a complete refund if you advise us a minimum of six hours before collecting the car. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings will receive a refund though, so it's a good idea to go over the car rental policy.

Crowded city streets and cramped parking spots are no sweat for an economy car — the most commonly booked type of rental in Tamarindo. Slide behind the wheel of one of these and get around traffic like a dream. Reliable, affordable and with excellent mileage, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Tamarindo can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are some other options to choose from.
