Rented a car from 8am - 5pm (regular business hours for a Tuesday). No one there until 8:15. Returned at 3:30. Closed. I was told in the morning that they needed to close at 3pm to move cars and that I could drop off my key at the hotel reception. Hotel receptionist would not take the key and was very rude about it. Had to pay $$$ to my wireless carrier to activate my out-of-country plan for the day just to call customer service to find out what to do with the key! (I was very clear that I could not come back the next day.) Customer service was also not very helpful. Spent a half hour in the hot sun just to arrange to lock the key in the trunk. And the trunk will not open using the remote.

Had a small 4x4 reserved 10 days ahead and went to p/u vehicle at 9:00 am as planned.was told no cars. Had i simply been told ahead of time no cars would have made other plans/arrangements. Just sloppy and disrespectful.

I have been using the Budget office in Tamarindo for years, they have always tried to meet my expectations, sometimes even with very little advance notice. As with all rental cars companies in Costa Rica it always helps to speak directly to the office where you want to rent from, you will have no surprises as to rates and insurance fees. When you go through websites like Expedia you will not get a correct quote. I have never been disappointed with Budget Tamarindo service and cars.

Reservation price doubled at the desk. I booked through Expedia and was quoted a price that was supposed to cover all taxes and fees. The reservation said to pick up the car at the Tamarindo Airport but when we arrived at our reservation time they had not delivered the car. The manager Fabio told us we could pick the car up from the office in town. The website said there would be an extra charge for drivers under 25 and over 70. When we were trying to check out there were additional fees for adding a 42 year old driver and additional taxes that took the price from the quoted $187 to $475 for our ten day reservation. We chose not to rent the car due to the price.

Worst service ever, I have rented from
Budget a bunch of times, this office isby far the worst, my reservation was for 1pm, we experienced a problem since they wanted a $2000 deposit instead of the usual $1000, I had to fix that with my bank but since it was sunday I had to come back the next day, when I arrived there was no one in the office around 1, 45min later the guy shows up, and says he gave my car, that he can have one here in 3 hrs meanwhile I have all my bags, and it is just outrageous Do not ise this office if you want a relaiable reservation.

I changed my 1 star to 3 stars because, they emeded up fixing my problem, they did everything they could, amd after that they were super on it amd helped me change the resevation with no issues amd very easily. I was less dissatisfied over all

We rented a car at San Jose and returned it to Tamarindo on December 13th as planned. We explained to Fabio in the office that we were taking a flight from Tamarindo airport early the next morning and he said that we could return it to the airport at no extra charge and give the keys to Ricardo at the Nature Air desk. This is what we did. When we got home we found that we had been charged for two extra days. We submitted a claim through Budget US which was denied. Will never use Budget Costa Rica again.

Budget Tamarindo Rental Car open when they chose to open. The manager Fernando and his 1 other staff member will be gone during the day for up to 2 hours. If you need to pick a car off or drop it back during business hours, do not expect them to be there. The door may very well be locked and no sign, no drop of key, nothing. This really disrupts your day. They have clearly no common sense as well as taking long breaks. If they must drop someone off only 1 person go, not 2! Common sense boys. You are losing customers and revenue for your company. But I guess you don't care about that. They argue with you too lying justifying why they both had to be away for hours!

Had a terrible experience at this location. I was on vacation in Tamarindo and looking to rent a car so I priced out the different rental places (There's 4 or 5 within a 5 minute walk of each other). I spoke to Fernando at Budget who gave me the best quote (I specifically asked for all fees included) I went back two days later to pick up the car, and not only was the price more than what he quoted, it was also a smaller economy car. He refused to do anything about it. I went on my way and returned the car 4 days later at the airport. As it turns out, Fernando, who's actually the manager, not only lied to my face about the price, he wrote on the reservation that I wanted the smaller economy car, not the intermediate size I had specifically asked for. Fernando essentially knew what he had to quote me to be the best price vs the other rental places, knowing that most people will just pay. Very upsetting. FYI, staff at Liberia airport Budget were very helpful with this issue.
