New cars, particularly with foreign licence plates, are frequent targets. Bus: A good service exists between major towns. Car hire: Available in San Salvador and from the airport. Documentation: A national or International Driving Permit is required. A vehicle may remain in the country for 30 days, and for a further 60 days on application to the Customs and Transport authorities.
URBAN: 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. Large hotels have their own taxi services.
