Driving
Nicaragua
Valid driver's licenses and international
driving permits are accepted in Nicaragua, as long as they are presented with
the passport.
Drivers use
the right-hand side of the road, and speed limits are posted depending on the
condition of the road. Speed limits are different in rural and urban
areas.
Turning right on red is
not permitted unless otherwise posted, and drivers must yield when entering a
traffic circle. Seat belts must be worn in Nicaragua. It is against the law
for drivers to operate cellular phones while driving.
People found driving under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs are arrested and may serve jail time.
Nicaragua
has a developing economy. Hotels and other tourist facilities in areas
frequented by visitors are generally good. Renting a car with Alamo
will give you the opportunity to drive around the country and visit all these
beautiful places.
