Here are 5 top tips for hiring a car in Guatemala:
Choose a 4x4 if Going Off the Beaten Path Rural roads and mountainous areas in Guatemala can be rough and unpaved. A 4x4 vehicle is ideal for exploring places like Lake Atitlán, Semuc Champey, or the highlands.
Check Insurance Carefully Make sure your rental includes basic insurance, and consider additional coverage for peace of mind—especially for theft or damage in remote regions. Always review the excess and terms.
Inspect the Vehicle Before Driving Off Take photos and note any damage before leaving the rental lot. This helps avoid disputes when returning the car.
Carry Cash for Tolls and Fuel Credit cards aren’t accepted everywhere. Having some Guatemalan quetzales on hand is helpful for fuel stations, rural toll roads, and roadside snacks.
Drive Defensively and Stay Alert Driving standards may vary and road markings can be minimal. Be cautious of sudden stops, stray animals, and unmarked speed bumps—especially outside major cities.
