Top tips for renting a car in Honduras
- Travelers who like to explore widely may do well to rent a car in Honduras. Public transport can be slow and unreliable, so a rental car will afford greater flexibility and quicker travel times. Visitors interested in areas such as the Western Highlands and Bay Islands like Roatan will find a rental car particularly advantageous.
- As driving around Honduran cities can be a chaotic experience, it might be wise to rent your vehicle only when you are leaving the city, rather than directly from the airport on arrival. Several agencies levy airport surcharges that do not apply to inner-city branches; for example, Hertz charges an extra 290 HNL (12 USD) per rental for collection or drop-off at the airport.
- There are no official laws on the use of child seats when driving in Honduras, but it is recommended to seat children under 12 in the rear seats of the car and to use an appropriate booster seat when needed. Most agencies are able to provide age-appropriate child seats for an additional fee; Sixt, for example, charges a flat rate of around 180 HNL (7.50 USD) per day, no matter what seat size is required.
- The major car rental agencies in Honduras do not allow cross-border travel into neighboring countries, but most are happy to arrange for a one-way domestic rental, allowing the car to be picked up and dropped off at different stations. Most charge an additional fee for this, e.g., about 1,700 HNL (70 USD) at Budget.

Driving in Honduras is on the right.

In all cases, a valid domestic driver’s license that has been valid for at least 1 year is required. It may be useful to have an International Driver’s Permit (IDP), but this is not usually requested by agencies.
