Transportation options are different abroad and may include mass transit, walking, biking, or taxis. Regardless of your mode of transportation, consider tradeoffs between cost, safety and convenience.
You can check the reliability and safety of public transportation on the U.S. State Department’s Country info pages (Select your Destination and find “Travel and Transportation”).
Accidents are a concern for travelers. Be aware:
- Traffic laws and habits differ.
- Traffic may move in a counter direction.
- Roads may be poorly lit or maintained.
- Pedestrians may find themselves dodging motorcycles on sidewalks.
On Call insurance does not cover injuries caused by riding on a motorcycle, vespa, or scooter. For this reason and many additional safety reasons, we highly encourage you not to rent motor vehicles while abroad.
