Just saw a drastic difference in car rental rates in Chetumal, México vs Belize City. Serious savings
I am arriving in Belize City around noon. I saw that there is a bus that goes from Belize City to Chetumal. Not sure of the schedule yet.
It seems to me that a bus ride to Chetumal would be a nice start to seeing the countryside passing through at least Orange Walk and Corozal. Then I could rent the far cheaper vehicle and make the drive back down and stay the night in Corozal or Orange Walk and explore that area before heading towards San Ignacio. I was originally heading for my initial destination immediately, but this seems like a great way to start.
Has anyone done this? Is it worth it. I know there are complexities of crossing the border in a rental.
