Important information about Guatemala City car rentals

Guatemala City in the Central American country that goes by the same name is home to fascinating attractions in the form of volcanic landscapes, ancient Mayan sites, and colonial cities. Car rentals in Guatemala City will make touring attractions seamless. A vehicle will get you to the National Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, the National Palace of Culture, or the Cathedral of Guatemala City in minutes. You'll be better off if you look out for the Pan American Highway, a major toll road connecting the city's locations. Other roads to watch out for include 7A Avenida and CA-9. Note that most city roads are well lit, but secondary roads can have little or no illumination. Therefore, we recommend that you don't drive at night, especially if you're a foreign visitor. You're likely to find various parking spaces in the city center at an affordable fee. There are over 50 car rental locations in Guatemala, giving you plenty of choices for your car booking needs.

While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Guatemala?

Rental cars in Guatemala are a prudent way of vacationing or touring the city. You'll find multiple parking locations on streets, parking garages, private parking lots, or hotel parking, with fees often on an hourly basis. Traffic in Guatemala can be notorious, with early morning and evening peak hours sometimes bringing traffic to a halt. With car rentals in Guatemala, it's possible to tour sites in neighboring cities, for instance, Acatenango and Urlanta Falls. Guatemala is fairly walkable, thanks to the proximity of amenities to residential neighborhoods. However, you'll benefit from driving if you want to take a trip to locations that are a distance away from the city center. You can secure a cheap car rental in Guatemala and go on a tour around the colorful and colonial city Antigua that's just about an hour away from the city center and has sights such as Santa Catalina Arch and Iglesia de la Merced.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Guatemala?

From an economy car rental, an electric car rental, or a luxury car rental in Guatemala, booking a car will come with various driving rules. It's a requirement to drive on the right-hand side of the road, with exceptions such as overtaking or changing lanes. The law necessitates that you always put on a seat belt when driving. You will be driving illegally if your blood alcohol content is 0.08% or more, and we recommend that you don't drink and drive. Guatemalan driving laws prohibit the use of mobile phones when driving, apart from when using hands-free systems. It would be best if you always yielded when getting into a traffic circle and never turn right on a red. Check with Guatemala's motor vehicle department for driving laws and any recent changes before driving on the city's roads.

What kind of driver’s license do you need to rent a car in Guatemala?

If you're considering car rentals in Guatemala, know that you'll require a valid driver's license to book a vehicle. Foreign visitors must submit driver's licenses valid in their home countries, and these licenses are only acceptable for the first 30 days. It's recommendable that international drivers secure an international driving permit that will be acceptable for longer stays and always carry their passports when driving. While the minimum driving age in Guatemala is 18 years, you must be at least 25 years and have a year's driving experience to qualify for Guatemala car rentals.
