Guatemala City Van Hire

Rainfall induces wet pavements, which leads to less vehicle traction. It also reduces the driver’s visibility. Like the rest of Guatemala, Guatemala City experiences heavy showers throughout the year, with April to October witnessing the most rainfall. Pull over at a secure place if caught in a heavy storm while driving. Alternatively, drive at a very low speed.

To achieve smooth driving in Guatemala City, stop for checkpoints whenever you see one; don’t pump your own gas; wait for an attendant at the station; keep your windows up and doors locked; and always be on the lookout for pedestrians, they tend to pop out of nowhere and expect to be let through since they have the right of way. Also, understand that local drivers don’t always adhere to road regulations. Thus, aggressive driving, especially when caught in traffic, is advised.
