Road conditions in Central America
Not everywhere has a well-developed road and motorway network like at home. This is what makes a hire car journey through Cuba or Mexico particularly adventurous. You can look forward to varied landscapes and be prepared for occasional potholes, animals on the road or a lack of signposting. Here you will find valuable information on road conditions in Cuba and Mexico to ensure that your journey runs smoothly.
Cuba
The major roads in Cuba are mostly good, but a road map is important as there is often a lack of signposting. Remote roads can be worse, so driving with foresight is important.
Watch out for unsecured rail crossings and observe the speed limits (50 km/h in cities, 90 km/h on rural roads, 100 km/h on motorways). Driving at night is not recommended.
Tip: In Germany, install an offline navigation app such as Maps.Me for useful information and maps. Download the maps in advance. Read more about traffic information Cuba.
Mexico
A round trip in a hire car in Mexico is ideal for rural explorations and tight schedules. The road conditions vary: Motorways are well developed, while secondary roads are often unpaved and bumpy. In poorer southern areas there are many potholes, and in hilly regions the roads are winding and steep. Extra caution is advised when it rains. Tourist areas such as Yucatán and Quintana Roo have good roads, while large cities such as Mexico City can expect heavy traffic.
Tip: Pay attention to traffic regulations and avoid travelling at night. A reliable navigation device is recommended.

Frequently asked questions about car hire tours
The type of cover depends on the credit card in question. Some credit cards offer car insurance when you pay for the hire car with the card. Check the terms and conditions of your card or contact your provider to find out if this cover is offered and what restrictions apply.
The cost of car hire in Costa Rica varies depending on the vehicle category, rental period, season and insurance options. You can expect prices to start at around $30 per day for a standard vehicle, but the actual cost may be higher.
It is advisable to book a hire car abroad early, especially if you are travelling during peak times or to popular destinations. Booking early can secure you better prices and a wider choice of vehicles.
This depends on the guidelines of the car hire provider. In many cases, it is not permitted to take the hire car to other countries. You should therefore check the conditions of your provider in advance and clarify any border crossing fees and insurance requirements.
