Car Hire in Guatemala

Select a car that fits your needs in terms of size and type, especially if you're traveling with luggage or a group.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Before renting, verify what your travel insurance or credit card covers for rental vehicles in Guatemala.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Some rental agreements come with mileage limits, while others offer unlimited mileage. Make sure to review the mileage policy to avoid unexpected fees.

When renting a car from Guatemala, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like FlexWays, Ace, Alamo,Budget, These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Make sure you know which type of fuel your rental car uses to avoid costly mistakes at the pump.
