 | | Car Hire in Managua - Getting a Car and Getting Around | | | The easiest way to pick up a rental car in Managua is at Managua International Airport, which has several agencies on site. You'll also find car rental agencies in downtown, near the Laguna de Tiscapa. The minimum driving age is nineteen but you may have difficulty hiring a car if you're under twenty one. Unless your usual insurer agrees to provide you will full coverage, you should be aware that you will be liable for paying 20% of the cost of any damage to your hire car. As cars are often broken into or stolen, this means that you should never leave your vehicle outside a secure lot. Fortunately most of the big hotels have these and you can often pay to park there even if you are not a guest.
In order to stay safe when driving in Managua, it's best to keep your windows up and your doors locked at all times. There are a lot of relatively inexperienced drivers on the roads, and road quality can be poor outside the city, so be wary of driving there after dark. However, provided that you are sensible, you should be able to avoid problems. If you're worried, it doesn't cost much more to hire a chauffeur-driven vehicle. | | | | | | |  | | Compare Cheap Car Rentals Deals | | |
