If you wish to embark on a journey in Belize on your own, then it is
best to know the ins and outs of driving and renting your own car in
Belize. A

country.

There are several Belize auto rental companies scattered throughout
the country. In Belize City, there is Budget Rent-A-Car, Buy

First off, you need of course a valid driver’s license in order to rent a
car in Belize. Credit cards details are usually held as deposits but
sometimes,
Belize auto rental companies also accept travelers’
checks or cash. If you feel uncomfortable giving out your credit card
information, then you can inquire if they accept the two latter options.
Purchase the maximum amount of Belize auto rental insurance
available. The people of Belize are a gentle people until they get
behind the wheel of a car.

There are three main highways in Belize: the Northern Highway which
stretches from Belize City up to the border of Mexico in Quintanaroo,
Chetumal, the Western Highway which extends from Belize City
through Cayo district, ending at the Guatemalan border, and the
Hummingbird Highway which reaches out from Belmopan to Dandriga
Town.

A comprehensive country map is particularly helpful if you plan to
avail the services of a
Belize auto rental. You just have to take note of
significant landmarks and tourist attractions in order to maximize your
personal use of a car to tour the country.

For example, just in Western Highway alone, you will already find a lot
of impressive tourist spots. There is the capital city of Belmopan,
Hattieville Village, the Twin Towns of San Ignacio and Santa Elena,
The Belize Zoo, the Xunantunich and Cahal Pech Maya Ruins, the
Pine Ridge Area where the 1000 feet falls and Rio Frio caves are, and
the famous Inland Blue Hole.

Other roads you have to watch out for are the Southern Highway
which has considerable and beautiful paved roads and stretches to 10
miles up to Punta Gorda town and the Old Northern Highway which
carries a whole lot of history. There is also the Coastal Road or
Manatee Highway which many
Belize auto rentals might advise you to
steer clear of it since they are very dusty and the condition of the
roads and even worsen during rainy days.

Night driving is generally fine for major roads since most of them are
lighted with street lamps. The only hitch is that during tire or
automobile emergencies, you might have a hard time chancing upon
other motorists who will help you on the road. If you can help it, it is
best to drive during day time.

Like any other country, there are speed limits in Belize. In major roads,
it is always safe to stay under 60 MPH and in dirt roads, lest you want
to be covered in dust and trapped in large potholes, it is best to drive
within limits. As for gas stations, there are approximately 40 gas
stations throughout the country. There is Esso, Shell, and Texaco
Service Stations. Both Belizean and US dollars and credit cards are
accepted, so you need not worry about bills you have not yet
exchanged.

Take it slow use your
Belize auto rental to explore the beautiful
paradise that makes up the country of Belize.
