For more info read our FAQ's.

Driving
Driving between cities is best done on the country's toll roads, which are better maintained and faster than other choices. Especially when driving close to borders with Mexico's neighbours, drivers should expect to be pulled over by either the police or military but should not feel intimidated. Tourists are generally advised not to drive through rural areas after dark and to follow a bus or another large vehicle, such as a truck, if they feel threatened. It is advised to make sure that pumps at petrol stations are already on zero before they are used, in order to avoid paying over-the-odds.
