Car Rental Honduras - In Brief
When hiring a car in Honduras you might like to consider what sort of areas you will be visiting and then choosing a vehicle to suit your needs. Due to the fact that the majority of Honduras is mountainous and rather hilly, many of our customers choose to hire an off road vehicle to cope with the challenging terrain. We have a great selection of SUV's to choose from with models on offer such as the Nissan Pick-Up 4x4, Toyota Rav4 and Ford Expedition 7 seater. There are a number of optional added extras that you can include to customise your rental booking such as child seats, infant seats, sat nav and luggage racks. If you are planning on sharing the driving with somebody else you can also add on an additional driver, which means they will also be covered by the insurance policy. All of our hire cars in Honduras come with efficient air conditioning systems to keep you cool when the temperature soars.
Honduras Mini Guide
Four-fifths of Honduras is mountain country indented with river valleys running down to the short Pacific coast in the south and the longer banana-growing Caribbean coast in the north. The capital, Tegucigalpa, is surrounded by mountains. Its name means 'silver hills' in a language of the Indians (Mayas) who lived there before the Spanish arrived in the 16th century. The country became a fully independent republic in 1838.
90% of the 4.5 million Hondurans are mestizos - of mixed Spanish and Indian blood. The rest are of Indian or African origin. Most are peasants producing maize, rice and beans for their own use; only one-third of the people live in towns. Although education is free, half the people cannot read.
The country is sparsely populated. It is five times as large as neighbouring El Salvador, but has a smaller population. Some areas of Honduras can only be reached by air. The forested and swampy Mosquitia in the far north-east has only one road. In this remote region the USA secretly train a guerrilla army of counter-revolutionaries (Contras) to fight the Communist Sandinista government in neighbouring Nicaragua.
