Fetch your bags stroll out of Guatemala City Airport (GUA-La Aurora Intl.), and pick up your rental car. Which one you motor off in depends on where you plan to go. If you’ll be primarily driving in downtown Guatemala City, around 1 mile from the terminal, go for something zippy. A compact car that’s easy to maneuver will be perfect for navigating those busy city streets. But with almost endless things to see, like the glorious sandy shores of the surrounding area, you’ll probably be racking up those miles. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make longer road trips a joy.
