Roatan1 Posted November 5, 2010 #3 Share Posted November 5, 2010 http://coinmill.com/HNL_calculator.html#HNL=734 The conversion may vary a little depending on where you spend your money. It has been hovering around 19 lemp per US dollar for a long time now. Don't get too jazzed about it unless spending TONS of money. Remember, the difference between what may be considered a bad exchange (18-1 ) or a good one (20-1) is just over half a penny. Easy just to multiply or divide by twenty to know your in the ballpark and let the people with the calculator at the register handle the details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchdiva Posted November 5, 2010 #4 Share Posted November 5, 2010 You will find several car rental agencies located in/near the Port of Roatan shops who will be more than glad to rent a car to you for the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ontheroad Posted November 6, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted November 6, 2010 thanks - any ideas or concerns that I should have about driving on the island or any safety security issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tampabrat22 Posted November 6, 2010 #6 Share Posted November 6, 2010 We were there this past Thursday and we rented a Ford Ranger from Thrifty for $80 for the whole day (@ Mahogany Bay)! There are a lot of steep hills and curvy roads and the drivers weren't that bad, they were actually very courteous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electricflyer Posted November 10, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2010 It's easier to rent a car/driver from Victor Bodden and let them do the driving. The cost would be about the same as renting a car and you don't have to worry about any damage that may occur in the chuck holes. The roads on Roatan are not that great and about 1/2 of the island has any type of driveable road. The east end of the island can only be reached by boat. The island is somewhat undeveloped for tourists although it has been 5 years since I've been there (going back next month). Except for the stretch of road in front of the Governors home the rest of the island roads are pretty rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klr Posted December 20, 2010 #8 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I have been to this small island a few times. Bodden just refused to take us where I wanted to go so I will be looking to rent a car as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisemainiac Posted December 20, 2010 #9 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Check the threads carefully. There have been several that have mentioned getting "taken" by some of these car rental agencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
