Car rental in Havana

Renting a car in Havana means choosing not just a vehicle but a neighbourhood to collect it in. Cubacar, Havanautos, Rex and Vía all keep counters across Vedado, Old Havana, Miramar and Boyeros, so wherever you are staying there is likely a pickup point within that same stretch of the city. Vía also holds a corner in Nuevo Vedado, Cuba on the road works out of Playa and across Havana more broadly, and ZUUUM RENT A CAR operates in the city too. Centro Habana and Siboney have their own options, and if you are heading to Playas del Este, Cubacar, Havanautos and Vía all reach that far.

The fleets reward a bit of window shopping. Rex is where the city's more memorable drives live: a Mercedes-Benz C 180 Cabriolet with the top down, an E 200 or C 200 for something quieter, or a Hyundai Santa Fe if you want height and room to sprawl. Havanautos and Cubacar cover the everyday end well, the Kia Picanto and Hyundai Grand i10 for darting between neighbourhoods, the Hyundai Tucson if you want a jeep without the fuss. Vía adds the Suzuki Jimny and Peugeot 2008 to that mix, and if your trip runs wider than the city, Cuba on the road rents a Fiat Ducato camper and even a Piaggio MP3 scooter for something smaller and freer.

Airport pickup is offered by every company here, including ZUUUM RENT A CAR, so you can land and drive straight into the city. Most also let you add a second driver and drop the car off somewhere other than where you collected it, which matters if Havana is only the start of the trip.
