Driver

Country forums / Central America / Guatemala

Anybody knows a good driver to go from Coplan to Rio Dulce ? Or a good company hiring good drivers ??
Thank you

Here are 2 transportation providers I’ve been pleased with in Guatemala for share shuttles, private transfers, and flight arrangements:
Adrenalina Tours: http://www.adrenalinatours.com
Rainbow Travel: http://www.rainbowtravelcenter.com

Our favorite private driver, Alfredo Garcia, is bilingual, personable, prompt, and safe, and has nice vehicles: alf.transport@yahoo.com

If you're interested in arranging a private shuttle with a Honduran driver, I've had great success with Miguel Martel; he is also bilingual, reliable, and great company. andresik04@hotmail.com Happy trails!

How long will you have in Copan?

It's a small town and pretty easy to walk around to hostels/cafes/bars and taxi's to ask for prices. Always haggle and the earlier you let transport know the better.

Call the numbers above and ask around when in town, it's OK to haggle but don't be a dick.

I would figure any price under $150us for a vehicle, not per person, is good.

Ask around on your first day and keep asking, making sure they know your serious, you'll see the price drop a little. Don't be surprised if they bring a friend or relative as they might want to stay after dropping you off, it's a win, win situation.

You also determine the pickup time, it's about a 4.5 hour drive to the boats
