Getting from Belize Airport to Belmopan

Getting from Belize Airport to Belmopan

Hello!

My boyfriend and I are going to Belize for the first time and are trying to find the cheapest and safest way to get to Belmopan. We were thinking of taking the bus to Belmopan and then using a taxi from there to get to our "off the grid" rental place which is off of Hummingbird Highway.

Would we have to take a taxi the the bus terminal? Cost?

How long is the bus ride to Belmopan? Cost?

And how much would a 10 min Taxi ride to Hummingbird highway cost?

Thank you for any advice/help! (:

International airport is about 10 miles from Belize City, and there are no public buses from the airport. The typical way to get to BC is by taxi -- BZ$50 (or US$25) and about 20 minutes. If you want to save money, you could walk from the airport terminal to the highway (about 2.5 km) and wait for a bus to come along. Buses pass about every 45 minutes and terminate at the BC bus terminal where you can change to a bus to Belmopan. Bus fare for this trip is BZ$1 or $2.

At the bus terminal, look for a west-bound bus -- the destination BENQUE will be displayed in the front window of the bus. All buses make a scheduled stop at Belmopan bus terminal. The trip from BC to Belmopan costs BZ$5 and takes about 1.5 hours.

The taxi fare from the bus terminal depends on the distance to your destination, but a 10 minute trip sounds like it might cost about BZ$20.
