Rent a Car in Cuba

Rent a car in Cuba: In Havana most tourist hotels offer car rental services, but I don't recommend driving a car in Havana if you are not familiar with the city and the Cuban traffic rules.
The streets are narrow with many potholes and the signage is poor and often difficult to see.

RENT A CAR IN CUBA - CAR HIRE CUBA - CUBA CAR RENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Check the car you rent for possible damage on reception of the keys.
  • Check the bill and the content of the gas tank too (delivering a HALF filled gas tank is a classic scam)
  • Avoid driving at night, there are plenty of bicycles on the road without light, children playing on dark streets etc.
  • Check your insurance coverage, as a foreigner you are responsible for damage to the rented car and any third party.
    In case of physical damage you are NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE CUBA before you pass the Court, this can take many, many months!
  • Leave the car only in a guarded parking area.
    • My advise:

    Always rent a car driver included, this is a more relaxed way of traveling

    The driver will watch and guard the car while you can shop or visit your destination.

    Before You Rent a Car in Cuba Read This!

    Before you rent a Car in Cuba, you should know that Cuba has different laws than other countries.
    Any car accident caused by a foreigner can lead to a tragedy. Even if the car accident is not your fault you can get up to three years prison sentence. Don't drive a car in Cuba, hire a driver or pay a taxi!
