Experience the Freedom of a 12-Hour Private 4×4 Transport in El Salvador
Imagine having a dedicated driver at your beck and call for an entire day—whether you want to visit volcanoes, beaches, or explore the city without the hassle of rental cars or navigation. For $190 per group (up to four people), this 12-hour private transportation service in a recent-model 4×4 pickup offers a flexible, comfortable way to see El Salvador on your own terms. Starting from the El Salvador International Airport or your hotel, a bilingual driver takes you around with the promise of air conditioning, fuel, and insurance included.
What we really appreciate about this service is how it removes the stress of driving in unfamiliar terrain—especially with the tight schedules and often challenging roads of El Salvador. Plus, the personalized itinerary flexibility means you can decide on the fly whether to spend more time at a volcano, have a quick visit to a national park, or pause for a scenic beachside lunch.

This service best suits travelers who want to explore at their own pace without the worries of rental logistics or navigating busy city streets.
