Getting around Tamarindo and exploring the broader Guanacaste region requires wheels — and the car rental options here range from conventional agencies to the distinctly local option of golf carts, which have become a genuine transportation staple in this flat, beach-town environment. Earth Gear Golf Carts Tamarindo has built a strong business on this premise: golf carts are ideal for getting around town, they're fun, they sidestep parking headaches, and they cost significantly less than renting a 4x4. Europcar and Amigo Rent a Car cover the conventional vehicle market, which you'll need if you want to reach more remote destinations like Playa Grande, Conchal, or day trips into Guanacaste's interior. Roads into and around Tamarindo are mostly paved now but deteriorate toward the outer beaches and in rainy season. A 4WD is worth the premium if you plan on exploring beyond the main routes. International driver's licenses are accepted in Costa Rica for 90 days. Prices for golf carts run around $40–60 USD per day; standard car rentals start around $40–70 USD per day before insurance, which is required and adds meaningfully to the total.

Expat tips for Car Rental in Tamarindo
Rent a Golf Cart for In-Town Mobility +
Within Tamarindo itself, a golf cart is arguably more practical than a full car — you can park anywhere, the speed limit enforces itself, and the open-air experience suits the beach town atmosphere. Earth Gear Golf Carts has a reliable fleet and is well-established in town. For stays of a week or more, weekly rates make this an economical choice for daily errands and beach access.
Budget Carefully for Mandatory Insurance +
Car rental insurance in Costa Rica is legally mandatory and cannot be waived even with credit card coverage — you must purchase the basic liability (TPL) through the rental company. The mandatory insurance often adds 30–50% on top of the base rental rate that's advertised. When comparing rental prices, always request the total all-in daily cost including insurance to avoid sticker shock at pickup.
Choose 4WD for Rainy Season Excursions +
Tamarindo's main roads are manageable in a standard car, but the dry season (November–April) gives a false sense of road conditions. In the green season (May–October), unpaved roads to nearby beaches like Playa Langosta or Playa Grande can flood and become deeply rutted. Renting 4WD during these months removes the stress of getting stuck and opens access to parts of Guanacaste not reachable otherwise.
