Rent a Car in Cuba from $80.00

Booking time

It is crucial to book your car rental reservation in advance when planning your trip to Cub. We recommend making your reservation two or three months before your trip. Try to avoid waiting until the last minute to search for an agency because there are very few of them, which can result in a lack of availability of cars. If you don't book your car in time, this can mean relying on public transportation or taxis throughout your stay.

Experienced agencies

When you rent a car in Cuba, it is essential to do so from an agency that offers security and quality service - so you can guarantee the right car for your needs.

Car variety

You should bear in mind that you may find a different range of brands and models than those on offer from other car rental agencies in different countries. For the best choice of models, it's a good idea to contact the agency in advance to see which ones are available.

The types of cars you can find

You will find various familiar car brands, such as Audi, Mercedes, Peugeot, Renault, Kia, and Hyundai. But, for your peace of mind, we recommend contacting the agency in advance to ensure you're fully informed of their car models and sizes.

Types of car transmissions

If you can drive a manual car, we offer a wide variety of models with this feature. If you prefer an automatic car, it is possible to find one, but this is more difficult. That's why it is essential to reserve your automatic car rental in advance to avoid disappointment.

Documentation

Please always keep your identification documents with you - do not leave them in your suitcase. It is essential to carry your passport when travelling by road. You may be requested to show your passport at toll gates and bridges that lead to popular beaches.

Parking

When parking at any destination you are visiting, it is essential to have cash on hand for any car parking fees. Don't worry, this service is relatively.

Car rental regulation

Please do not try to negotiate with a local to rent a car. Car rental in Cuba is regulated and it is illegal to rent cars from Cuban residents. There is only a small list of authorised and recognised agencies permitted to offer this service.

Routes and guides

If you have already scheduled your plan to travel to Cuba, you have the date and you have decided to rent a car, consider if it is your first time and you are venturing to this destination the following tips:

• First, plan in advance the places you want to see such as: historic landmarks, streets, squares, and beaches;
• Second, consider the most convenient routes to get to your destination;
• Third, plan how much fuel you will need for the duration of the trip

GPS

If you are going to use a GPS to guide you on the road, please be aware that data connection may fail in Cuba. There is also no guarantee that your car will have an integrated GPS. We recommend asking the locals to ensure you don't get lost and, if necessary, carry printed maps with notes on routes and landmarks.

Fuel

Pay attention to the fuel gauge, and always remember to fill the tank. It's crucial you don't leave it until the last minute, as in Cuba, you can't find a petrol station on every corner. Also, make sure you have Cuban pesos (the national currency: CUP) with you because that's the only way to pay for fuel. Rental cars must only be filled with their specific type of petrol.
