El Salvador

TravelInternal Getting Around By Air There are no scheduled domestic flights. Getting Around by Rail San Salvador’s railways are managed by FENADESAL (Ferrocarriles Nacionales de El Salvador; website: www.fenadesal.gob.sv). However, there are no passenger services at present. Getting Around by Road Traffic drives on the right. Road conditions vary. Rebuilding of roads following the 2001 earthquakes is nearly complete. Car-jackings are frequent in El Salvador (especially in the cities) and drivers are advised to travel only by day and with the doors locked at all times. New cars, particularly with foreign licence plates, are frequent targets. Automóvil Club de El Salvador (tel: 2231 5555; website: www.aces.com.sv) has reciprocal agreements with some international motoring organisations and can provide further information on driving in El Salvador. Bus: A good service exists between major towns, although there can be delays if the weather is bad. Buses can be hailed. Pickup trucks are an alternative method of transport to remote areas. Car hire: Available in San Salvador and from the airport from international and local firms. Regulations: Seat belts are compulsory. Speed limits vary from region to region. Documentation: A national or International Driving Permit is required for 30-day visits, after which visitors need to obtain a Salvadoran licence. Getting Around Towns and Cities Bus: City buses offer a good service, but are often crowded. Taxi: Plentiful but not metered, so it is advisable to agree the fare beforehand. Taxis are yellow and can usually be found cruising the streets looking for pick ups. Alternatively, head to the town square (or similar), where taxis usually congregate between fares. Many large hotels have their own taxi services. Taxi drivers do not expect tips, except when the taxi has been hired for the day.
