Economy car rental in Nicaragua

A small sedan or hatchback is the cheapest way to get around on paved highways between Managua, Granada, León and the southern Pacific towns. It is not the right choice for steep or muddy dirt roads.

Good for

  • City-to-city trips on paved highways.
  • Couples or small groups with light luggage.
  • The dry season, when more side roads are passable.

Check before you sign

  • Photograph every scratch and dent before you leave, with the agent present.
  • Check the spare tyre, jack and wheel wrench.
  • Ask exactly what the insurance covers, the deductible and the deposit held on your card.
  • Confirm the fuel policy (full-to-full is the usual one).
  • Save the company’s roadside-assistance number in your phone.
