The road network in Cuba is good, dominated by an arterial motorway running from Pinar del Rio to Santiago de Cuba. There are also highways in the mountains, and in towns there are many wide boulevards. The smallest car, which will only comfortably carry two people with luggage, will cost about $75 a day, including gasoline (expensive) and insurance (expensive). Add another $10-plus for larger cars. There are not enough rental cars in Cuba so you must make timely reservations for them in advance before arriving in Cuba. It is a little difficult driving around the city of Havana (you can never turn left - a strange phenomenon for a leftist country!), but the rest of the island is quite easy. There are sufficient "Cupet" gasoline stations (look for the circular, green, white and red sign), but you must make sure that you keep your tank always topped up. When driving into a gas station, look for the pump that says 'especial'. You do not get a map when you rent a car. Maps are for sale in most souvenir stores. Cuba is not well sign-posted and you will often need to stop and ask for directions.
