To easily navigate cheap car rentals in San Pedro Sula on these roads, it is advisable to obtain a detailed map of San Pedro Sula and plan your route in advance, taking into account any potential areas of heavy traffic or construction.
  • Ramon Villeda Morales International Airport (SAP) is Honduras' main international airport, located about seven miles southeast of San Pedro Sula.

After my first day with the car I had to return it for another one, the air conditioning did not work well, with the high temperatures in Honduras the AC is important, my second car had problems with the brakes, they made a lot of noise when braking but the AC worked well so I decided to keep the car for the rest of the 7 days. The customer service is very good, the people who work there do their best to serve the customers.

It was good. The only bad thing is that they take so long to give you the car. But beside that the service it was amazing and the car that they gave me it was great, but the only problem with that car is the CarPlay didn’t work. The brand of the car is Bestune
