Our Story

El Gringo's Rentals Tamarindo is a short and long-term motorcycle rental company in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. We rent bikes from 48 hours minimum, up to a few weeks or even a few months. Our service is for anyone with a motorcycle license interested in traveling by motorbike in the Guanacaste area.

El Gringo's Rentals is owned and operated by 2 Canadians who have traveled extensively through Central America since 2011, including 6 years in Nicaragua. We now have planted roots in Tamarindo, where we enjoy a quiet but exciting life by the beach. And we love helping others discover all the beauty that Costa Rica has to offer.
