Belize

 

Located between Guatemala and Mexico, Belize is the only country in Central America with English as its official language.  Spanish is prominent, however, in the north and northwest of the country, and don't be surprised when you also hear Maya, Garifuna, or Belizean Creole.  Belize features amazing jungles filled with exotic plants, excellent deep sea fishing tours, as well as great diving and snorkeling opportunities in the Caribbean Sea.  Book a cheap car hire in Belize through CarHireX.com.

Mayan, Spanish, British, and finally completely independent in 1981, Belize features unique and diverse population with an interesting and rich culture.  Welcoming to visitors, tourism is currently the country's biggest industry and EU passport holders as well as American, Mexican, Canadian, Australian and more do not need a visa to enter.  Belize is very popular on the cruise circuit, and most cruise ship visitors won't even be asked for their passport.

Touring Belize is easy with a car rental from Philip S. Goldson International Airport in Ladyville.  It is recommended to reserve a 4x4 car hire in Belize due to the overly bumpy condition of their roads.  Otherwise the roads are in good condition, and major highways provide good connection to all the most popular destinations around the country.  It is also popular to reach Belize by car hire from Mexico via Chetumal, or from Guatemala via Melchor de Mencos.

During your stay in Belize make sure you take time to see the country's historic sites.  Visit Old Belize in Belize City to see what life was like for the Mayans all the way up to present day.  There are also several Mayan historic sites and ruins around the country.  For the lowest rates on a car rental in Belize complete the booking engine at the top of the page with your travel dates.
