10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Puerto Barrios

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. Booking early typically allows you to secure lower rates and ensures better availability, especially during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are usually more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most economical choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which can also work, but ensure you return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but the convenience might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is a simple process when booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning to take long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Puerto Barrios?
A thorough insurance plan is a fantastic choice for your upcoming Puerto Barrios adventure. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia.

It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Puerto Barrios with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Guatemala, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car.

Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
