Question 1

What are the major attractions in Guatemala City?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Guatemala City is all booked but your travel itinerary is a little on the empty side, we can give you a few hints and tips.

Close to the city center, Paseo Cayala is one sight to consider putting on your must-see list. If you still have room on your itinerary, Torre del Reformador and La Aurora Zoo will keep you occupied too.

Question 2

What kind of rental car should I get for Guatemala City?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can do Guatemala City without a rental car. But with so much to see and experience here, having one would make your trip more convenient and fun. If you want to get out of the city and into nature, book a car rental with a bit of power. A larger car like an SUV will get you to the area's sandy shores in style and comfort. Planning to spend the majority of your vacation downtown? A smaller car like a mini or compact is your best bet. Driving through narrow streets and squeezing into tight parking spaces will be less hassle in one of these.

Question 3

Should I get a luxury rental car in Guatemala City?

Accepted Answer

First of all, there's an impressive variety of both economy and luxury rentals in Guatemala City. What you end up going with will depend on how much you're willing to spend as well as what you plan to do. Prestige vehicles are all about comfort and class. If you feel like splashing out, why not grab a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a cushy mid-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you're just after something to get you around town as cheaply as possible, maybe go for a versatile compact vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your pocket).

Question 4

Does Guatemala City have peak-hour traffic?

Accepted Answer

As with most cities, the roads are generally busy in the early and late rush hours. However, thanks to its smaller population of about 994,900, traffic isn't a big issue in Guatemala City.

Question 5

What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Guatemala Department?

Accepted Answer

More often than not, your rental company will charge the fined amount to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may share your contact details with the relevant local law enforcement agency so they can issue a fine directly to you.
