Hello All,
My boyfriend and I are going to Cuba within few weeks and we would like some advice regarding Renting a Car. Is it easy to get around? It is better to rent a car than taking public transport? We are planning to stay for 12 days (Havana, Varadero, Trinidad and Pinar del Rio) and I would be grateful if you could provide some advice.
Many thanks,
A |

Hi Anna,
you can rent a car without problems in Cuba. Driving is relatively safe if you stick to driving during the day - I would advise you strongly though against driving at night because traffic, roads, lighting, etc. are much different and in parts sub-standard.
Getting petrol is also not too much of a problem, you can get maps and will be able to find your way - even if road signs are few and far between.
Considering your planned routes, check out the Viazul bus service in Cuba and safe yourself cost and hussle. Viazul is a punctual and comfortable bus service with a good timetable, payable in CUC. The busses stop off in all the provincial capitals in Cuba. If you do not want to stop off on the way and explore left and right at your own desire, taking the bus may be a comfortable way to get from A to B.
Take a sweater - the aircondition on the Viazul busses is fierce.
Enjoy your time in Cuba
