Getting Around in Belize by way of car rentals certainly adds some freedom to your vacation in the country. Most can rental companies are located in Belize City and have a branch at the Phillip S.W Goldson International Airport PGIA (BZE on your flight ticket).
You won’t find any Uber or Lyft at the Airport. However, they are taxis standing by for anyone who needs a short distance transfer from the Airport to Belize City Water Taxi. A great alternative to renting a car is to book a private or shared shuttle transfer.
If you are going to Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker you won’t find any cars there to rent. Instead, you will find bikes and golf carts.
Some car rental companies may have a minimum age for renting a vehicle.
Immediately after exiting the Belize International Airport, you will be facing the airport main parking lot. Just behind the cars, you will Auto rental building. There you will see the big rental companies as well as local ones, each office can be identified by their sign over the entrance.

Most if not all travellers do drive and rent a car at home too and of course, are pretty confident in their neighbourhood and or states, and all their big highways.
Here. In Belize we only have 4 major highways, all connected pretty much in a straight line from north to south, but as wide as one lane in the USA, with a couple of different ways of driving and rules.
One main safety tip that you may be or not be told about, is that when you see a restaurant or turn off on the other side of the highway, you CANT just stand in the middle of the highway with your indicator on and block our traffic. That would be extremely dangerous and is a traffic violation.
You do have to go off the right off the road on the side and wait till all back and front oncoming traffic has passed and then you go across to your destination or road.

Its cost roughly $70USD to rent a car per day. Many Auto rentals does offer a great discount for rentals for more than two weeks long.
Many travellers have used the rental option and have had a great time, no problems, just plain fun.
But when asked during a transfer that’s normally the answers to the questions, on this topic and when the plane was delayed and we are driving with you through the dark, the reaction normally is; “ William we are really glad that we don’t have to drive right now …”

William owns one of the largest private transfer fleets in Belize. He and his team of drive continuously raise the bar in providing excellent transfer service.
He one of kind service is more than a transfer and feel like you are driving in a car with a friend. I can think of no better to travel on the roads of Belize, than with someone who knows the country and its people.
Belize Shuttle by William is possibly the best alternative to renting a car and driving yourself. The Drivers are punctual and friendly, the vans or expected and kept clean at all times.
