Important Notes

1) It is possible that you find on other websites lower prices when the websites are not yet updated for 2008, or advertise with prices on the web, that turn out to be for low season and are actually higher at the moment of booking.

2) The prices you find here are the best possible prices in CUC for the public !

3) There is a shortage in economic rental cars during the high season on Cuba. It happens that rental cars for these periods are booked for you by car rental agencies, but that they are not available on the day of pick up. This can only be avoided by booking with a reliable operator working together with a Cuban host & agency. They look continuously after your car rental reservation to claim the reservation, and check if the car comes available on the right time and on the right place.

We can guarantee that service & security !

Secure & comfortable to book

When you book a tailor made Cuba program with Soultime Travel, we can offer you as part of our service prices for rental cars that are very competitive. You can't find better prices then as the ones mentioned here ! Prices are in CUC (pesos convertibles) for 2008.

We make for you the reservation.
You pay in Havana on arrival (or the day after in your hotel) the car rental to our Cuban partner. On the day of the pick up of the car, you are accompanied by our host to the car rental agency, where you pay the insurance & deposit.

More secure & comfortable you can't find it !

Notes on private transfers with taxis, or your own driver:

1) Economic alternatives on Cuba for private transfers are taxi transfers from one location to another. This in comparison with the prices for VIP travels with an Audi A6 with your personal driver.

If you prefer not to travel on Cuba by selfdrive, one or several private taxi transfers are quite common within a tailor made program of 1-3 weeks. This can be very well combined with regular bus transfers from one city to another.

2) For travel parties of 5-16 persons or more it is interesting to consider: to contract a minivan to drive yourself, to contract a bus with driver and Cuban guide, or to contract a bus with driver & TC specialized in Cuba (see: guiding services & special projects).

3 ) There exist possibilities of renting your own car, and contracting a private working driver or driver/guide on Cuba, but as it is very difficult to get this free lance drivers 100% compromised, you need to reserve far ahead and is not recommended so far ! Besides all the expenses of meals, drinks & accommodation of the driver are for the client.

Private taxi transfers or excursions in common taxis or in classical American cars (closed roof or cabriolets) can form part of a special tailor made program.
