Is it safe to rent a car in Nicaragua?

After years of being a dangerous country to visit, Nicaragua has finally made it onto the world map of must-see destinations. The country has many different environments and with a rental car you can explore the lake region, drive through the untouched rainforest or cross the grassy lowlands that border the Caribbean.

Roads outside of Managua are often in a poor state of repair and if you are planning to drive beyond the city limits, renting a 4x4 is the safest option.

Nicaragua Factfile

  • Nicaragua is the largest country on the narrow strip of land that separates the two continents of South and North America
  • Nicaragua was named after the local native leader Nicarao and agua, the Spanish for water, referring to the two huge lakes located inland
  • The country was first conquered by Spain in 1524 and gained its independence in 1821. Since then it has been on a rollercoaster of fortunes with earthquakes and civil war hampering its efforts to grow economically
