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.

Poor|Jan 2023

When we arrived, they didn't have any car of any size available for my reservation; the friendly representative at the counter told us they were overbook because of the holidays, and he offered to help find alternatives with other rental companies. It was very frustrating because it forced us to change our plans and scramble to find another way to travel that day. To make this service better they should either have more units available or manage better their inventory to avoid overbooking.

We have been given a car that was dented on every single corner and side, scratches everywhere and very dated. Not a problem, considering the money we've paid. HOWEVER, once we got at the counter, we have been asked to pay the car insurance (in lieu of the deposit blocked on the card), which is standard for all car rental companies. The only exception was, that we have been traveling before abroad and rented cars in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Iceland and other cities in Europe. Usually the car insurance fee is somewhere in the region of the rental fee (i.e. £200 for rental = approx. £200 for insurance). On this occasion though, we've been told that the insurance was mandatory (not optional) and the options we had were $45/day for minimum insurance (covers nothing basically), $70/day for average insurance (covers almost everything, including accidental tip-over, scratches, etc.) or $100/day for the full coverage (almost full, as 1 thing from their list was not covered). We have agreed finally to pay the outrageous fee of nearly $600 for insurance although was not very fair and exaggerated. After this, the team needed to mention also (very convenient at the end after we made the payment for insurance), that although we have paid for the insurance, we still need to lock a deposit on the card of nearly $600. That was outrageous!!! But we had no other option but to pay that too. The tip of the iceberg though, was when we have returned the car with now had a minor scratch (Guatemala City is crazy to drive in), the Europcar team claimed, that the "medium insurance" covers only 50% of the damages. Although on windshield and windows, the insurance clearly specified 40% coverage only, on all other items (including tip-over of car and rims, scratches, dents, etc.) there was no mentioning of percentage cover. THIS WAS CLEARLY A LOW MOVE ON THEIR PART! We obviously made our case and stated, that if this was their position then we will have no other option but to complain even further. One of their employee, had the nerve to even suggest that 'none of this would have happened if we would have purchased the full coverage'. What a t.w.a.t!!!! We had to argue with one of their managers on the spot and told him that this is outrageous, explained our point of view so we can finish as soon as possible with closing the paperwork so wee can catch our flight. When I told them that I prefer to roll over the car and give it back as this is covered by the insurance fully, rather than the scratches, he started smiling, then switched the story, saying that the insurance leaflet we had is not the contract, and THE CONTRACT WE HAVE SIGNED takes precedence, therefore, they are entitled to charge us and that clearly states that the medium coverage, allows only for 50% cover. When asked to find the clause in contract that states this, he gave up and told their colleagues to release the papers so we can go, with no extra cost. We have felt abused (financially) by Europcar and their employees and I can reassure them, that even if I have to go elsewhere and pay a higher price, WE WILL NEVER AGAIN USE THEM. It's not just about the money, it is the principle. Just because you can, doesn't mean that you have to abuse you clients. We have been rudely spoken too, cornered to pay the fees, and felt ambushed when 4-5 of them gathered around us to try and "convince" us that we are at fault. This is the worst experience we have encountered this time. Please bear in mind that we have hired before cars in Guatemala from Alamo few years before and we are used with the terms and conditions of rental companies in Guatemala. We have also rented cars from Europcar in Europe, so they cannot say that Europcar has different rules and terms in different countries. Usually the terms and conditions and the criteria of rental are quite similar across all rental companies, across borders. Bottom of line, worst experience ever!!

Expedia offered a great deal on the rental car, but when i got to Europcar rental office I was informed that the insurance i had purchased with Expedia wasn't valid and i had to make new insurance. Their minimum insurance rate was 40USD a day - more expensive than renting the car!!!. This minimum rate did not cover accidents or thefts. It ends up costing me much more than the rate I was promised. I don't know if Expedia insurance would have covered me, but it wasn't accepted at the rental office.

JianCarlo is a rockstar! Did a lot of research as to which companies were good/legit/formal, and Alamo was the only one that made the cut. No hidden fees or agendas and the service was beyond expectations. JianCarlo went above and beyond helping us during a crisis, I truly hope he's cherished in the organization.

The drop off procedure was irregular. I asked if the office was going to be opened and they said yes. When I arrived that office was closed, no one gave me my vouchers or papers that proved that the condition of the car or gas level was according to AVIS expectations. One day later I had to call and asked for my contract to be formally closed.

I did my reservation online through Kayak and received a confirmation. I checked in online and then arrived at the location, to find out they did not have the vehicle I requested or any vehicles period. I had to request a ride back to where I was staying, and hesitantly they agreed to drop me off. They did not attempt to find a solution to the problem at all. They simply (politely, but directly) stated they had no vehicles and could do nothing about it.
