– Budget-friendly at just $25/day for a spacious 4-door AC vehicle
– Don’t forget the $10 mandatory permit
⚠️ Crucial Advice: Maintain 50 km/h max speed limit! Local police frequently target foreign drivers for questionable fines. During routine checks, they’ll typically inspect your:
1.
International driver’s license
2. Rental permit
Pro move: If unfairly harassed, discreetly start recording (use multiple devices if possible). We stood our ground when confronted – the moment an officer noticed our recording, he immediately demanded we delete it before letting us go!
