Once you’re here
Getting around Guanacaste
In walkable beach towns you often don’t need a full rental car. Here’s an honest look at local options — including what we can book for you through Viator, and what you’re better off arranging locally. We’d rather tell you the truth than fill a page with listings we can’t stand behind.
Bookable now: golf-cart rental
A fun, low-speed way to get around flat towns like Tamarindo. This listing meets our quality bar (rating and verified reviews).
Guanacaste Experiences is an independent guide and may earn a commission when you book through our links, at no extra cost to you. Booking and payment take place on Viator; Viator and the listed operator control availability, pricing, cancellation and fulfilment. We do not operate these vehicles or transfers.
Other ways to get around
What each option suits — and an honest note on booking. Where we can’t verify quality inventory, we say so.
E-bike rentals
We could not verify any qualifying e-bike rental bookable through our Viator partnership at this time.

Scooter & moped rentals
We could not verify a scooter rental that meets our quality bar through our Viator partnership right now (limited inventory exists but below our review threshold).

ATV rentals
Viator carries guided ATV tours (with a guide and set route), not self-drive ATV rentals. We don’t misclassify one as the other.

Side-by-side / UTV rentals
As with ATVs, Viator carries guided UTV/side-by-side tours, not self-drive rentals. We keep the distinction clear.

Rental cars
Traditional car rental is not part of the Viator marketplace, so we don’t offer it here — we won’t fabricate listings.

Our in-depth guide to getting around Guanacaste compares airports, private transfers, shared shuttles and rental cars, and helps you decide whether you need a car at all. Arriving soon? Start with a Liberia Airport transfer.
Some categories (rental cars, e-bikes, most scooters) aren’t part of the Viator marketplace. We’re evaluating a dedicated, reputable rentals partner to fill those gaps — and we won’t add one without vetting it first.
