  • To score a cheap rental car in Antigua Guatemala, it's a good idea to book in advance. Prices tend to rise as your travel dates get closer, and leaving it too late could mean missing out.

  • Line up your ride with Alamo, Enterprise or Avis. These are some of the most popular brands offering car hire deals in Antigua Guatemala.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Antigua Guatemala car hire policy, whether with Alamo or a different supplier. Some companies offer it as a paid extra instead of including it.

  • Booking a one-way car hire can be the key to cheaper deals. Simply select 'Return car to a different location' when browsing for a car for rent in Antigua Guatemala. Providers sometimes have to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can lock in some great one-way prices.

Insurance and optional extras
