Belize is easy to navigate for American drivers as all distances are listed in miles, gas is sold by the gallon ($5-6/gallon), drivers drive on the right-hand side of the road, and all signs are written in English. Unless posted otherwise, the speed limit on highways is 55 mph and 25 mph on smaller roads.

Permit to Take the Rental Car from Mexico to Belize or Guatemala. When you make your reservation you can request border crossing permits for Belize, which is free, and Guatemala, which is not. If you want a border crossing permit to take your Mexican rental car to Guatemala it is going to cost $180 USD.

Cars are not the only way to drive around Belize and on Ambergris Caye they're not even an option. Renting a golf cart is the way to go in San Pedro, whether you're a tourist or a local. The narrow island can barely accommodate the few trucks and cars that do use its roads, so you will mostly see golf carts.
