It is possible to rent a car in Belize. However, this can be only an option for the most fearless and adventurous because the roads are in very poor shape around the city. Also, without knowing the area, one may end up in a less safe neighborhood accidentally. However, rental services include Safari/Hertz(011-501- 2-235395) and AvisBelize(800-331-1084). These cars can be picked up either at the airport or downtown.
There are also buses that travel from San Ignacio, the capital city of Belmopan, and Belize City. The US consulate warns travelers to Belize that Public buses and taxis are often in poor condition and lack safety equipment. Thus, travelers should travel with caution.
Water is also a popular transportation source. Water taxis and ferries that depart from the Marine Terminal to the outlying cayes, including the larger resort cayes such as Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye. A trip from Belize City to San Pedro, which is the largest town on Ambergris Caye, takes around 80 minutes and costs $45 roundtrip. Again, the US consulate warns that these boats do not always carry sufficient safety equipment, boats can be overcrowded and may sail despite bad weather.
