Best car rental prices in Guatemala
We understand the importance of choosing the right pick-up location. With that said, Bookingauto strives to provide customers with the opportunity to collect a car from all desired locations in Guatemala, including the city centre, main railway stations, and the nearest airports. Thanks to such a large selection of rental points, our clients can book a car in Guatemala and pick it up at a convenient place for them.
Options and possibilities:
We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Guatemala on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible BMW Z4 from us, starting at €57 per day and rented out by the popular company sixt in Guatemala. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Mercedes Vito might be best - from €46 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, budget recommends opting for a business class car like BMW 7 Series for €41 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Ford Focus for just €11 per day.
How to minimize costs:
In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.

The rental points are grouped into three main locations: city, airports, and railway stations. Therefore, it won’t be difficult for you to find an option that suits you. Important note: the number of cars offered and the rental price in different rental locations in Guatemala may differ. That is, car rental at the airport can be more expensive compared to the city centre. However, there is generally a larger choice of models at the airport. To pick the best option, you should study all of the offers, compare prices, and then make a decision.
During the high season in summer, car rental in Guatemala costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the VW Passat popular in Guatemala costs €28 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €12 for the same model.
During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a BMW Z4 is offered at €57 per day.
Among the economy classes, the most popular model in Guatemala is the Ford Focus. The rental price for such a car starts from €11 per day from sixt.
For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a BMW 7 Series will cost about €41 per day.
With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a Ford Escape at this time can be rented for just €32 per day.
It will also be easier to find unusual and exclusive car models. For example, by renting a Porsche Macan, you will experience real driving pleasure and enjoy a luxurious visit that will remain in your memory forever.
We provide preferential cancellation / amendment terms for most cars and rental companies in Guatemala
If you cancel your reservation at least 24 hours prior to receipt (48 hours in some cases), you will be refunded in full in almost all cases.
If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance (48 hours in some cases), you will receive a full refund minus an administration fee in almost all circumstances.
Cancellation policies and administration fees may vary depending on the provider and car you choose. Please read the cancellation policy before proceeding with your booking.
Remember that cancellations and changes are not possible after the pick-up time. This applies to all bookings.
Applies to all bookings:
If your online payment is less than the stated administration fee, there will be no refunds when cancelling your booking once the administration fee is applied.
If your booking is made less than 24 hours prior to the pick-up time (or 48 hours in some cases), a cancellation policy will be automatically applied to your booking.
Important information: All cancellations must be made in the “Manage My Booking” section and not directly through the car rental company itself.

If you purchased an additional insurance product with your car rental, the policy will be automatically ended when the booking is cancelled. To check if you are eligible for a refund, see the cancellation policy set out in the terms of your insurance product.
When does the “No-show” rule apply?
The following situations constitute a "No-show":
● The customer didn’t inform of the cancellation before the pick-up time.
● The customer failed to pick up a car in Guatemala at the arranged time and date.
● The customer failed to provide the documentation required to pick up the car.
● The customer failed to provide a credit card in the main driver’s name with enough available funds on it.
In the event of any of the above, no refunds can be made.
The car hire company reserves the right to refuse a car to any customer who fails to provide all of the necessary documentation and a credit card with enough available funds for the car's security deposit. In such cases, the customer will not be entitled to a refund.
