My family is currently living in Guatemala and is beginning to plan for travels further South. We drove our car down from the States and have a few questions about having a car temporarily in El Salvador. I know how to obtain a car import permit at the border but I've been unable to find answers to the following:
1) How long is the import permit good for (I'm assuming 90 days but I read 60 on one forum which does not make sense since I can stay for 90 days w/o a visa)?
2) Is it it easy to get the car permit renewed/extended if we stay in the country longer than the initial duration?
3) It appears that car insurance is not required but I just wanted to triple check. Es verdad?
ONE LAST QUESTION...is there a per person charge for crossing the border from Guatemala? I've read posts from people who say it's free and other's who say there is a $10/person tourist card.
Thanks for any info you can provide.
