Driving And Hitching, Honduras

Displayed:   times.

Renting a car is the simplest way to get to the more isolated national parks without having to rely on buses. Well-maintained highways connect the main cities, running between the north and south coasts and along the coasts themselves.There are also numerous dirt roads connecting the isolated villages of the highlands. Bear in mind, however, that these can be in quite appalling condition for large parts of the year, and at times completely impassable; check local advice on conditions before setting out. Rental starts at around US$45 a day for a small car, US$60 for larger models and 4WDs. Check the rental agreement carefully to ensure that insurance and emergency assistance are included. Hitching is very common in rural areas, and generally safe. Keep an eye out for pick-up trucks with lots of people in the back, and stick out your thumb. You're expected to offer payment at the end of the ride, usually the same as the bus fare - though it may occasionally be refused.
