Requirements for Renting a Vehicle

Before picking up a car at the terminal, keep in mind the conditions and standard documentation required by most rental companies:

• Minimum age: The minimum age to rent a car is usually 21 or 25, depending on the company and vehicle category. Drivers between 21 and 24 years old generally must pay an additional young driver fee.
• Driver's license: A physical, original, and fully valid driver's license issued by the driver's country of residence, usually held for at least 1 to 2 years. If the license is not issued in Latin characters, it must be accompanied by an International Driving Permit.
• ID or passport: A valid original passport (with an immigration entry stamp for Guatemala in the case of foreign visitors) or a Personal Identification Document (DPI) for Guatemalan citizens.
• Credit card: A physical international credit card in the name of the primary driver, with sufficient available credit to hold the security deposit (deductible). In general, rental agencies do not accept debit cards or cash for the security deposit hold.
• Insurance and coverage: Mandatory basic third-party liability coverage and protection against collision damage and theft (CDW/LDW). If you choose to decline the rental company's insurance by relying on your credit card coverage, you must provide official documentation issued by your bank.
