Getting Around
Taxis
Taxis are convenient and numerous, but it is wise to ask the taxi driver before getting into a cab what the charge will be. You can also check the cost of a specific ride in advance by asking at your hotel: most concierges can tell you the authorized charge from point to point.

Public Transport
Be vigilant on guaguas (buses), motoconchos (motorcycle taxis) and públicos (shared taxis). Watch for pickpockets.

Rental Cars
Rental cars are available from the major rental companies. To rent a car, you must be at least 25 years of age, hold a valid driver's license, and a major credit card. In order to get the lowest rates, and to ensure that a car is available, we highly recommend that you reserve your vehicle and rate before leaving home. Call your travel agent or the rental car company in your country direct.

Gasoline
Gasoline is fairly expensive in this country and gasoline is available at stations called bombas. These stations are easy to find in larger towns but may be hard to find in more remote areas. Be sure to fill up whenever the chance arises and keep in mind many bombas close at about 8pm.
