You won't need to rely on public transportation schedules or wait for cabs. You can travel to various landmarks and locations outside Managua if you opt for a hire car. Day visits to neighbouring sights are simple, such as a roughly 45min drive to Blue Mountain, about 60 km (37 miles) from Managua's city centre. Opting for car hire in Managua can be more affordable than cabs or other public transportation, depending on your trip plans and group size, especially if you're travelling in a group.

  • Look out for pedestrians and cyclists while opting for car hire in Managua, as they may not always observe traffic regulations strictly. When approaching crossings, be cautious and yield to pedestrians. Also, keep your valuables out of sight and lock your car doors when driving and parking. Avoid leaving valuable objects in the car, which may draw unwanted attention. In addition, expect varied road conditions in Managua, such as potholes, uneven surfaces and periodic road work. Drive slowly and adjust your speed as needed. Driving at night in Managua might be more difficult due to decreased visibility and potential safety hazards. Plan your trips throughout the day.
  • Some parts of Managua, mainly residential areas, may need more street lighting. It can make night driving more difficult, affecting visibility and navigation.

The drop-off attendant delayed my arrival at the airport because of his vehicle inspection. He insisted the front bumper was loose and in need of repair, but provided no proof that any evidence of pre-inspection or damage occurred. After conversing with his manager. I was allowed to leave and shuttled to airport. His behavior is a poor example of how to treat customers in a competitive space that utlize his company service as a convenience. Next time i will consider using a global brand instead of a local company.
