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 selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you need an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to help you find the perfect fit for your trip.
  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 travel date. By booking in advance, you are more likely to secure lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically 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 policy can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making your reservation.
  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 favorable option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just be sure to return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but it can be worth it for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind if unforeseen issues arise during your trip. It's easy to add car rental insurance when you book with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid 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. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. 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. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. 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.
