The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Costa Rica are: Renault Megane Cabriolet, Chrysler Sebring Convertible, Ford Mustang Convertible and VW Eos Convertible.
At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Tamarindo require two credit cards to guarantee issuance of a cabrio or a roadster.
We recommend ordering additional no-excess insurance that covers your risk (franchise), since the franchise amount for cabriolets in Costa Rica is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Tamarindo and compare it with the information indicated in your voucher. Sometimes, rental officers make 'unintentional' mistakes in rental invoices.
In parking garage, examine the vehicle for defects and scratches carefully. If you find any of them, check whether they have been specified in your rental document.
When parking a cabriolet in Tamarindo, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

Local drivers are used to driving in the chaotic flow of cars. Even after a substantial portion of alcohol many of them feel confident on the road. For foreign drivers busy roads are very dangerous, and a serving of alcohol will only worsen the situation.
Taking into consideration the abovementioned features of local roads, it is recommended to move on them only with the seat belts fastened. The possibility that the driver will be fined for an unfastened belt or for talking on a cell phone while driving is very small, but it is recommended to comply with the rules for your own safety.
