There is no better way to see everything Guatemala City has to offer than by getting behind the wheel of your Budget rental car. Don't waste your time waiting for the bus or hailing taxis to go to the sights. Having your own vehicle allows you to go to the areas you want to see the most, when you want. Make your upcoming trip to Guatemala even more enjoyable with a Budget rental car.
With all there is to do in and around Guatemala City, you'll want to take in more than the area surrounding your hotel while on your visit. Whether you are dying to try the restaurant that has gotten rave reviews across town or try some of the local favorites, you'll want your own set of wheels to see as much as you can while on your trip. Wherever you drive to in Guatemala City, if you wish to get the most out of your visit, having access to your automobile is a must.
We work with the finest rental car businesses. Open for business during Los Angeles in 1959, Budget always works to provide the best prices for their customers. With a name like Budget, you know they will try to get you the lowest rate.
We try to get you the lowest price, no matter when you reserve your vehicle. However, booking ahead of time can help keep spending low. Be sure to keep the car under one driver's name and read the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.
Be sure to carry with you credit card, as well as your driver's license.
Budget's minimum age to rent a car in Guatemala City is 21. Make sure to check Budget's policy, as there may be added fees if you are under 25 or for higher category cars especially.
That all depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Guatemala City. Economy or compact vehicles are easier to park and great for short commutes. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a SUV or a sedan is going to have more room for luggage and offer a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Guatemala City vacation can choose the premium category for a car like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.
In Guatemala you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Many major credit cards (Discover, American Express, Visa and MasterCard) generally offer coverage. However, many of them have restrictions, such as not covering larger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. Make sure to find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to Guatemala City. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.
Budget requires a deposit when you reserve your rental. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you book your vehicle for your trip. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly depending on the model and make of the rental.
We suggest a full tank policy. You receive the vehicle with the needle at "F". However, if you return the rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current fuel prices to refill it. For a cheaper rate, it is best to find a filling station before you bring the car back to Budget.
Guatemala City certainly has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities here.
Budget usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to return your rental car at another location. Don't forget there may be an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
With so much to do and see in Guatemala City, having access to an automobile lets you explore at your own pace. When you're ready to check out more of Guatemala, you can go when you want to, without trying to signal for a cab or sign up for a ride-share.
