Driving Rules in Nicaragua

To drive in Nicaragua, foreign visitors need a valid driver license issued by the country of their residence and an International driving license. It is permitted to drive with the International driving license for up three months. Known for its volcanoes and beautiful lakes, Nicaragua is calling your name. Enjoy the amazing sights of this wonderful country. Drive your own car to get from one destination to another. Here are a few reminders you need to familiarize yourself when driving in Nicaragua.   

Important Reminders:

  • You drive on the right side of the road.
  • The minimum driving age is 18 years old. The minimum rental age is 25 years old.  
  • Child-restraint is a must.
  • Hands-free is a must. Keep your phones away unless they are hands-free.   
  • Drink moderately. The legal alcohol limit is 50 mg per 100 ml of blood.
  • The speed limit is 45 km/h in urban areas, 60 km/h in rural roads and 100 km/h on expressways.
  • Locals use hand signals instead of horns.
  • Wildlife roam freely in Nicaragua. Be sure to keep your eyes on the road.
  • Motorcyclists must wear helmets.
  • Seat belts are mandatory.
  • It is illegal to move vehicles involved in an accident until police and insurance companies arrive.
  • All vehicles must have local third-party-liability insurance.
  • The police phone number is 118.
  • Drivers should watch out for the speed bumps; they are not always painted and marked with signs.
  • There are many slow moving vehicles on Nicaraguan roads.
  • Traveling close to the beach requires driving on dirt roads so it is recommended to rent a four wheel drive vehicle.
  • Nicaraguan buses can stop anywhere on the road without signals.
  • Bicycles, oxcarts, dogs, horses, and vehicles without lights are common on Nicaraguan roads.
  • Nicaraguan law requires that a driver be taken into custody for driving under the influence. The minimum detention period is 48 hours; however, detentions frequently last until a judicial decision is reached.
  • Drivers whose cars have foreign license plates are more likely to be stopped by Nicaraguan traffic police.
  • Most rental car companies require drivers to be at least 25 years of age. Drivers also need to purchase basic insurance.

Driving in Nicaragua during Winter:

Nicaragua is located in Central America so there is no winter here. Avoid traveling during the rainy season from May to October. Any other time of the year will be perfect.
