KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Belize City

  • Car hire in Belize City provides several advantages. You have the freedom to explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace. Belize City is a hub for various attractions, such as the historic Belize Museum, Baron Bliss Lighthouse, and Belize Zoo. Car hire in Belize City allows for convenient day trips to popular destinations, like the ancient Maya ruins of Altun Ha or the breathtaking landscapes of the Belize Barrier Reef. It offers flexibility and the opportunity to discover hidden gems off the beaten path.
  • When arriving in Belize City, the major airport serving the area is Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE). Car hire offices at the Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport are conveniently located within the Airport Car Rental Plaza, just outside the terminal building. After clearing Customs and collecting your luggage, follow the signs directing you to the Car Rental Plaza. Options for Belize City car hire are not as prominent as at other nearby airports, so BZE is the recommended airport for pickups.
  • When driving in Belize City, it's important to exercise caution and be aware of the local road conditions. The city streets can be narrow and congested, particularly during peak traffic hours. Keep an eye out for pedestrians and cyclists, as they may not always adhere to traffic rules. Additionally, be mindful of the occasional potholes and road maintenance. Familiarise yourself with and follow the local driving practices, such as giving way at roundabouts and using hand signals for turning.
  • Belize City experiences heavy traffic during morning and afternoon rush hours. Rush hour traffic typically occurs from around 07:30 - 09:00 and from 16:30 - 18:00 on weekdays. During these times, certain roads like the Philip Goldson Highway, Belcan Bridge, and Swing Bridge can be heavily congested. While Belize City does not experience winter snow or dangerous mountain roads, it's essential to stay aware of changing weather conditions and occasional heavy rainfall, which can affect road conditions.
  • Book your rental car in Belize City at least 3 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Belize City are around 27% cheaper than other car types, on average

Additionally, parking spaces in Belize City can be limited, so a compact car provides better accessibility. However, if you plan to explore beyond the city and venture into the countryside or coastal areas, an SUV or pickup truck may be more suitable, offering better traction and storage capacity for outdoor adventure equipment. Car hire in Belize City offers a variety of options to cater to different traveller preferences.

    In Belize City, the speed limits generally follow the standard regulations in Belize. Within the city limits, the maximum speed allowed is 25 mph. However, pay attention to specific areas where lower speed limits may apply. For instance, near schools and residential areas, reduced speed limits of 15 mph are commonly enforced during school hours. It's crucial to be mindful of speed limit signs and any speed cameras that may be present, particularly in high-risk areas or zones prone to accidents.

  • Where are the best places to park in Belize City?

    In Belize City, there are several options for parking, including public car parks and metered street parking. While some areas offer free parking, others require payment. In central locations such as downtown or near popular attractions, it is common to find metered parking spaces, the cost of which typically ranges from 0.5 BZD (0.2 GBP) to 2 BZD (0.9 GBP) per hour, depending on the location. Additionally, there are private car parks available for a daily rate of approximately 10-15 BZD (4.60 - 6.90 GBP).

2.0 Poor

Anonymous, Dec 2023

Compact SUV

We had our rental booked the Alamo. On arrival, we were told that due to an issue they didn’t have a car for us (we had requested a mid size SUV - KIA sportage or similar and while we were waiting we saw another customer from Alamo get one). They said that since they didn’t have one they are working with their partners to honor our rate and give us a similar car. I expected a similarly well renowned company - enterprise, budget, hertz. Instead they took us over to one of the local car rentals and got us a SUV with 103K miles on it, poor car alignment, and the check engine light on “which was the case for all the cars”. Ultimately the car served it’s purpose but that was a disappointing experience and the car we got was definitely not worth the price we paid.

Cons:

Alamo didn't have our car there when we arrived, so we had to go to another provider.

The agents in Belize were excellent and very patient with us. We appreciated the tips they gave us and the time they spent making sure all was well.

I am a repeat customer at Alamo in Belize City, because they have always taken good care of me. They have also provided the most competitive prices. Several trips back I took a "better offer" from a competitor which ended up sending me to a third company, which in turn doubled the stated price. I went back to Alamo the next trip, and now for this trip.

4.0 Mediocre

Michael, Apr 2021

KAYAK

Cons:

The agency we originally made a reservation through did not have a car available when we arrived. They were kind in asking other agencies if they could assist us, but the vehicle we managed to secure was in very very poor shape mechanically. The trip across the country for the nearly two weeks was very difficult with such an unreliable and dangerously maintained vehicle. It was an adventure.
