TRAVEL IN BOLIVIAHere you can find information about how to travel in Bolivia: Rent-a-car - Bus - Taxi - Plane
One possibility to travel through Bolivia is to rent a car. Not all of the streets are in good conditions during the whole year and in all regions and car services are scarce, but gas is relatively cheap (about 1.65 US$ per gallon). Bear in mind that Bolivia´s system of road signs is rather poor and traffic behaviors are different. Car rentals can be found in big cities, such as La Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz. Rely on reputable agencies only. To rent a car you need an international driving license, a credit card or cash deposit and your passport. Prices for renting cars vary considerably. A car, size of a Toyota Landcruiser, costs about US$ 60 per day (incl. 75 miles) or US$ 580 per week, without driver. This price includes total insurance with 620 miles free of charge. Moreover, recommended car rentals have a 24-hour emergency hotline-service and provide you with road maps. Inquiries are welcome and will be transferred to car rentals.
Buses are by far the cheapest and most important means of transport in Bolivia. All cities are connected by public transport, so you can reach all important tourist destinations without problem. Prices for overland journeys are extremely convenient - charging you more or less 1.20 $ per hour of the bus trip. Slightly more expensive are the so-called Cama or Semi-Cama Busses which are very comfortable triaxial "sleeping car" busses.
Taxis constitute a very good alternative to be used within the city and in it's surroundings as they are very inexpensive. However, as only few taxis are equipped with a taximeter, you should agree the price with the driver in advance.
National flights are also reasonably cheap; you can book directly at the local airports or in the airline offices. National Bolivian Airlines are Lloyd Aereo Boliviano (LAB), one of Bolivia's largest national airlines, Aerosur National Airlines, AMAZONAS, Aeroeste, Taxi Aereo Aeronorte and SAVE. |
