By Lilos Rentals Team

Renting a scooter is the easiest, most fun way to explore Tamarindo at your own pace. If it''s your first time, here''s exactly how it works.
What you need to rent
- A valid driver''s license (your home license is fine for short stays).
- A passport or ID for the rental agreement.
- A refundable security deposit.
Before you ride off
Do a quick walk-around with us: check the brakes, lights, tires, and fuel. Every Lilos Navi goes out clean and ready, and one helmet is always included. Take a couple of slow laps on a quiet street to get a feel for the throttle and brakes.
