Hired car Varadero: Follow the traffic rules in Cuba

Cuban road travellers are confronted with a number of challenges. In order to drive a car on the mostly ordinary roads of Cuba, you must be at least 21 years old and hold an international driving licence. You have to drive your hired car on the right-hand side of the road. Speed is limited to 40 km/h in urban areas and a maximum of 100 km/h outside urban areas. The police will be as harsh when breaking the speed limit as when driving under the influence of alcohol. The penalties are quite high and must be paid immediately. In addition, many side roads on Cuba are comparatively inadequately signposted. Nevertheless, due to a lack of public transport, many sights can only be reached by hired car. Ask your car hire company in the city of Varadero or at the airport about the special features of domestic road traffic.
