Guayaquil - Post Report Question and Answers
What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?
I am glad I brought an all-wheel drive vehicle with good clearance, especially during the rainy season which can get muddy and flooded. Ecuadorian insurance is arranged through the consulate, but paid for by the employee. I brought my own car oil, filters, windshield wipers, etc. and am glad I did because there are very few Subarus down here. - May 2025
Small Asian SUVs are most common. Most major brands have dealerships here. - May 2025
