Driving in El Salvador

Feeling anxious about driving in a new country? No worries, we've got you covered.

On the road

Driving in El Salvador is on the right side of the road, similar to the UK. So you won't need much time to get accustomed to local driving habits. However, the driving style may be different from what you're used to. The rules of the road are often loosely observed, therefore be sure to drive defensively.

Car Rental Recommendations

If you're planning to venture out beyond San Salvador, renting a car with high ground clearance such as SUVs is advised due to the country's rugged terrain. Bear in mind that manual transmissions are more common, so ensure to specify if you need an automatic one.

Exploring San Salvador and Beyond

San Salvador places you at the heart of El Salvador, a perfect starting point to explore this beautiful country.

San Salvador to Santa Ana

For a taste of local history, a 1-2 hour drive from San Salvador to Santa Ana is highly recommended. This city has charming colonial architecture and an impressive Teatro Nacional, not to be missed.

Driving to El Tunco

Just an hour away by car, the small seaside town of El Tunco is a famous surfing destination. With its vibrant nightlife and rocking music scene, El Tunco offers an altogether different side of El Salvador.

Weather and Climate

El Salvador enjoys a tropical climate with two seasons: dry (November-April) and rainy (May-October). The average temperature is around 25-30°C year-round, quite a contrast to Britain's chilly seasons, so pack accordingly.

Final Thoughts

Starting your Salvadoran adventure at San Salvador Airport is an experience that guarantees convenience and a comfortable start to your trip. Enjoy your journey!
