Car rental at the Airport

In the whole country you are expected to explore fantastic beaches, crystal-clear water, hot rhythms and the light-heartedness of the Cubans give Cuba a very special charm that hardly any visitor can escape, which is why it would be a pity to stay in only one place. Take your rental car on a round trip in the south of Cuba and enjoy the fantastic view from La Gran Piedra, the big rock in the National Park near Santiago de Cuba, stop at the gigantic Revolution Plaza and let yourself be enchanted by the Basilica in El Cobre.

But also a rental car tour to the north, to Havanna, has its charms. The capital of Cuba is compared to the rest of the country filled with palatial buildings right beside simple houses of locals, a contrast, which you won't see in many other places to that extend. Particularly nature-loving travelers should get their money's worth in the mangrove forest, Laguna La Redonda, at Moron and also a visit to the El Nicho waterfall, should definitely be on your to-do list. However, you can set a very special highlight of your trip to Cuba with a visit to the Bellamar caves in Matanzas and also an evening visit to the Plaza de la Catedral in Havana has something very special that you should not miss. Afterwards you should go to the Fabrica De Arte Cubano, which is a stunning art gallery, filled with live music and live Djs to turn the cultural excursion into an unforgettable night out within locals and tourists.

After arriving at Holguin airport, you can reach the car rental offices either at the arrival terminal after passing through customs or outside the car parks. We at Driveboo make sure to select you the most convenient places to pick-up your pre-booked rental car, no matter if it is in a city station or directly on the airport, like in this case.
