KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tambor

  • Opting for car rentals in Tambor offers more benefits than relying on its public transport system. Car rentals have more space, hence more comfort and ample storage. You will also not have to worry about strangers in your personal space as car rentals provide privacy during exploration. You will enjoy the scenic landscape of Tambor by choosing your route and optimizing the number of attractions to visit daily. You will also have the freedom to travel at your preferred time. With Tambor car rentals, you will have better sightseeing opportunities in places including Parque Recreativo Los Manantiales, Curu Wildlife Refuge, and Montezuma Falls.
  • Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO) is the main airport serving Tambor. After deplaning, you can access car rental counters in the Arrivals Hall of Terminal M. You will then be offered a complimentary shuttle service having your preferred car rental company's name to get to their pick-up and drop-off locations. You must be at least 25 years old to rent a car. However, some agencies rent cars to those aged 21 to 24 and impose a fee for young drivers. You must present a driver’s license valid throughout the rental period and a credit card whose information matches that of the driver’s license.
  • Using car rentals in Tambor requires you to follow their relaxed driving culture. You will often encounter drivers in this town not adhering strictly to the statutory speed limits. You must be observant as they have informal communication methods on the roads, including using hand gestures to signal intentions. You will encounter some drivers flashing their headlights to signal other drivers. It is also common to find wildlife, including monkeys and iguanas, crossing the roads. You must yield to the crossing wildlife for their safety. People to your right will have the right of way in intersections without traffic guides, including traffic lights and stop signs. You must also be attentive and give way to pedestrians and cyclists when necessary.
  • You will experience rush hour times generally in the morning from around 7 am to 9 am and in the evening from around 4 pm to 6 pm. The rush hours will be incredibly challenging when using car rentals in Tambor since they will result in heavy traffic. Heavy traffic during these rush hours affects several roads, including Route 160. You can instead use Calle Nueva and Calle del Tajo to navigate around these heavily congested zones during rush hour times.
  • Book your rental car in Tambor at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
