Vehicle storage (Long term)

New Topic Newest First

I wonder if anyone can help with some information please. We are looking for a place to store our camper vehicle.(3.5m long) We don't mind paying a small amount but need to know that it's secure. Somewhere where airport access is easy so either Antigua or Guat city. We need to park it for at least 6 months-maybe longer.
Hope someone out there can help?

If the vehicle does not have matricula as yet (Guatemala Plates) you are unable to leave Guatemala without the vehicle unless you leave the vehicle in the Aduana impound near the Aurora International Airport, of course, filling out the proper forms (do not leave anything of value in the vehicle) upon return you pick up your vehicle and you will need to get a proroga..extension in Guatemala City...there are some people in Pana like Ivan who do tramites in the city, tramitadores are now necessary in Guate. I got my matricula in 1986 myself, now not possible.
If you leave your vehicle "long term" and your permit runs out, Aduana can impound it until you pay multas.
No level playing field, from now on you'll be kicking the ball uphill, like all of us. Life in The tropics. Ciao.
