High clearance is a must given the dirt roads that turn to mud in the rainy season, potholes and broken asphalt, and just being able to get out to see stuff in some of the more remote places. The quality of the road system drops off dramatically after the four main "highways" in Belize. Toyotas are big here. There are also Mahindra and a couple Chinese brands available locally. I've seen dealerships that sell Ford and Chevy as well. Used cars seem to be damaged cars purchased in the US, fixed up locally, and resold. There are a LOT of cars on the road that wouldn't pass safety checks in the US. - Jun 2026
