Top tips for renting a car in Roatan Island
- Roatan Island is known for having many cyclists, motorcycles, and scooters, so you will want to keep this in mind when you are operating a vehicle in the region. Make sure to drive with particular caution and drive as slowly as you can while still keeping up with traffic. You may not instantly see someone on a scooter or motorcycle when driving in the mountains where there are blind curves, so it is always best to be careful and as aware of your surroundings as possible.
- The type of car that you should rent during your stay on Roatan Island will entirely depend on which part of the region you will be exploring. If you mainly plan on staying in a city or a village, an economy vehicle can come in handy for navigating smaller roads and parking in tight areas. If you want to go on long drives or will be driving in the mountains at all, you will likely want a larger car that has 4-wheel drive, in order to provide extra stability.
- When driving on Roatan Island, it is best to limit your time behind the wheel during the day as much as you possibly can. The island has very few streetlamps, so it is quite dark at night. Because much of the island is mountainous and there are many blind turns, it is safest to drive during the day when you can be confident that you have as much visibility as possible.
- Roatan Island is known for having quite a few potholes, so keep your eyes open for these when you are driving. They can do some major damage to your car if you drive over them at full speed, so it is best to avoid driving through them altogether, or at the very least to limit your speed.
- Book your rental car in Roatan Island at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini rental cars in Roatan Island are around 40% cheaper than other car types, on average
