Allow 4 - 5 hours' drive south to the Belizean border. Check with your rental company that they will allow you to take the vehicle into Belize, and I've heard that you have to purchase Belizean car insurance at the border.

I don't know about driving down the coast of Mexico. I wouldn't do it. But once you get into Belize, you aren't going to run into roads that are smooth and unencumbered. Also, you have no idea of who you might run into in the middle of Belize or in the towns you'll go through on the main road. It's not Europe.

I'm not sure you can even take a rental car accross the border into Belize. You need to double check this.

Also don't worry about what's been said, driving in Mexico is great. The roads are well signposted and wide, they just have a strange obsession with putting speed bumps everywhere. If anything the roads in Belize are going to be worse.

About 400 kilometer or 250 miles. It's a pretty easy drive--you do have to slow down for every village because of the speed bumps

I have heard tourists get mugged on the roads. That a group or gang approach the car and steal your money and any valuables you may have on you. I heard it happens in isolated roads heading out to another city or town.
Is it just a rumor or is it safe to drive in Mexico?
