Here are a few things to note about renting a vehicle in Belize.
Basic Requirements
The only thing you need to rent and drive a car in Belize are:
- A valid driver’s license from your home country; and
- A credit/debit card or cash for the security deposit.
Are Reservations Necessary?
In order to ensure that the vehicle of your choice is available, it is best to make a reservation ahead of time.
Once you call or email us with your booking information, you’ll receive confirmation within 24 hours that will contain information about the vehicle as well as where it will be delivered.
Rules of the Road
Driving in Belize is not very different than driving in the United States.
- Distances are measured in miles.
- Driving is on the right-hand side.
- Gasoline is sold by the gallon (at approximately $5 US/gallon).
Belize has no traffic lights. Instead, the country relies on speed bumps, affectionately known as “sleeping policemen.” Be aware that all inhabited areas usually have speed bumps, including remote villages. Some speed bumps may be difficult to spot, so always slow when passing through a residential area.
The one local custom to be aware of is that, sometimes, drivers in Belize wanting to make a left-hand turn will signal right. They may also pull over to the right to wait for oncoming traffic to clear before executing the left-hand turn.
