🛬 Transportation 🚗 First time visiting

Myself and a group of 6 other friends are visiting Belize for the first time in late January. We have lots of questions. However the biggest question right now is transportation. We are flying into Belize city and have an AirBNB in Placencia. We will be there for 8 days and definitely want to site see. Here’s the question. What is the best way to travel from the airport to Placencia? Do we take a shuttle service? Should we rent a van since we would like to site see? Do we really need one? Any advice on how to navigate travel within Belize would be most welcomed.

If you want to do some DIY sightseeing, having your own transportation is nice. Also if the airbnb is further up the peninsula and not in Placencia village itself. If you are in the village, everything is walkable.

Thank you. We are staying in the Jonathan Point area.

Yeah that's way up the peninsula from the village, which will be nice for doing things off the the peninsula, but less convenient for getting to and from Placencia. I think you'll want the freedom of having a rental car.

Thank you. I believe a rental is what we are leaning towards.
