Find cheap car rental deals in Belize City, Belize
Belize City is a colorful and chaotic Caribbean destination with everything from grand colonial mansions to a pretty man-made beach. Although the city itself is relatively compact, if you rent a car it can make a fascinating base for exploring the rainforests, coastline and Mayan ruins of stunning Belize.
Explore Belize City: A city of two halves
Belize’s largest city is a diverse place, where the streets are alive with energy. Here are some of our favorite places to visit, all within easy driving distance wherever you’re based in the city.
Belize City Swing Bridge
Head into the heart of the city to see its impressive swing bridge, made far away in Liverpool, UK. The bridge spans Haulover Creek to connect the northern and southern halves of the city, lifting regularly to let boats and ships sail on up the Belize River.
Belize City North
North of the river, you’ll find the richest neighborhoods and the most upscale hotels. The Museum of Belize is housed within a restored former prison just off Queen Street, and the Maritime Museum is also well worth a look. Head to Fort Street Tourism Village for great shops and a waterfront stroll.
Belize City South
Drive south of the river to visit the city’s commercial district. Take in historic sites such as St. John’s Cathedral – said to be the oldest Anglican church in Central America – and the stately Government House. A couple of miles south is Old Belize Beach, complete with water slide, palm trees and beach bars.

Renting a car in Belize City: What you need to know
Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we get asked about car rental in Belize.
How old do I have to be to rent a car in Belize City?
You need to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in Belize, but some rental companies have higher age restrictions of up to 25. If you are under the age of 25, you will probably have to pay an additional young driver surcharge and your choice of car may be limited.
Do I have to pay when I book?
No, most companies allow you to reserve now, pay later. Although choosing to pre-pay can sometimes work out cheaper.
What do I need to bring with me when I pick up my rental car?
Make sure you bring along your valid driver’s license, passport, and credit card.
Will I need to leave a deposit when picking up my rental car?
You can usually reserve ahead of time but wait until pick-up to settle your bill.
Will I need to leave a deposit when picking up my rental car?
All car rental companies will ask for a security deposit before you can drive your rental car away. This must usually be paid by credit card and covers any potential damage to the vehicle. It’s returned to you when you drop off the car in its original condition.
