Not easy to drive in Guatemala City. Antigua was much easier. Most streets are one way. Stop signs are sometimes not easy to see. Use Google or Waze for sure.😊

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Antigua

  • Using car rentals in Antigua is one of the best ways to explore the city and its surroundings. It provides flexibility and freedom to explore Antigua and its surroundings at your own time and pace. Renting a car in Antigua provides convenience in carrying luggage or shopping items and eliminates the need to navigate unfamiliar public transportation systems. It also enables you to access remote areas and scenic routes that may not be easily reachable by other modes of transportation. With Antigua car rentals, you can visit Lake Atitlán, Chichicastenango, and Tikal.
  •  La Aurora Airport (GUA) is the most likely airport to land when you visit Antigua. La Aurora Airport (GUA) houses many companies for car rentals in Antigua that are ready to hire a car to explore beautiful Antigua. The rental companies at GUA have offices just outside the main terminal, either on 7A Avenida or Calle 14. Their car fleets are also conveniently located nearby, within a short walking distance. Once you have completed the required paperwork, a staff member will usually hand you the car key and accompany you to where the vehicle is stored.
  • Driving in car rentals in Antigua requires awareness of the local driving style and conditions. The roads in Antigua are generally well-maintained but narrow and can be congested, especially in the city center. The driving style in Antigua can be a mix of calm and impatient. While some drivers may be relaxed, others can display impatience and assertiveness. It is essential to stay alert and follow traffic rules, as not all drivers may respect them consistently. Bicycles are common on the roads, so it is important to watch out for them. Jaywalking is prevalent, and pedestrians may leave unexpectedly, so caution is advised. The common vehicles on the road include cars, motorcycles, tuk-tuks (small three-wheeled taxis), and local buses.
  • Driving car rentals in Antigua can present certain difficulties. Rush hour (6 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 7 pm), especially during weekdays, can lead to heavy traffic and congestion, particularly on major routes such as Calle del Arco and 5a Avenida Norte. Avoiding these areas during peak times, typically early mornings and late afternoons is advisable. Another challenge is the presence of one-way streets throughout the city. It is important to familiarize yourself with the direction of the streets and pay attention to signage to avoid getting into the wrong lane.
