Hi everyone,

I am driving into Guatemala from Mexico at the El Ceibo border. It will be a short two or three day trip in and out.

My question is can I purchase insurance coverage once I enter into Guatemala?
How difficult is the process to drive in to Guatemala with a US licensed vehicle?
I am finding information that is previous to Covid so I am looking for more current information if possible.

Thanks so much

yes you can buy a temporary car insurance as you enter guatemala mostly you will need Liability which is mandatory by law and very useful in case of accident.
and your us driving license meanwhile is valid allows you to drive under a tourist visa .. no problem..
