Hey Deb, How long is your stay going to be for your first trip to Belize? If it is for a week I suggest you take the puddle jumper to San Pedro as it takes 12-14 minutes. You can look around and walk the streets and have lunch at the Melt and sit on ... Read More

Buying or renting a car in Belize by hodanka

Our family of 4 is planning to stay in Belize for 1 month than return to Europe and within a year to move there. I'm wondering whether is good for us to rent a car for 1 month to explore Belize or buy a car and possibly leave it somewhere till ...

stevo66

Greetings again, The rental companys are a rip off and suggest just buying a car there. There is a small lot near the airport in Corozal that rents and sells cars there but make sure it has AC and is light colored as they reflect the heat better. Read More
