Your cart pickup starts in San Pedro
Belize’s international airport on the mainland and San Pedro Airport on Ambergris Caye are different arrival points. Arrange the onward local flight or water taxi journey separately, then request the cart for the time you expect to reach San Pedro.
All booking times use Belize local time, UTC−6 year-round. Allow a margin to disembark, collect bags and meet the team. Entering your mainland landing time as your San Pedro cart pickup could leave the handover planned for the wrong part of your journey.
Arriving with Tropic Air or Maya Island Air
Choose Tropic Air or Maya Island Air in the pickup field and include the flight details and expected San Pedro arrival time. Share the number of people and bags, then confirm the exact meeting point with Rio before traveling.
Rio offers free delivery, helps with luggage and can drive you to your destination. Do not assume a cart will be parked at every terminal exit or that a particular airside access arrangement is available. Agree the practical meeting place directly with the team.
Arriving with Belize Express or Caribbean Sprinter
Choose the water taxi operator you will actually use: Belize Express Water Taxi or Caribbean Sprinter Water Taxi. Add your expected San Pedro arrival and accommodation details. Check current routes and sailing times directly with the operator.
Rio’s published office address is Belize Express Terminal Water Taxi. That does not mean every water taxi uses the same arrival point. Confirm the correct terminal and where Rio will meet you, especially when arriving with a different operator.
If you want to meet at your hotel
Choose Hotel in the pickup field and enter the hotel name. If your return is also at a hotel, select Hotel for the return location and enter its name as well. Share any arrival detail that will help the team coordinate the delivery.
Passenger seating is separate from luggage space. A four-seat cart accommodates up to four passengers and a six-seat cart up to six; tell Rio about suitcases and access needs before the handover.
Keep this arrival checklist handy
If your flight, ferry or accommodation plans change, contact Rio with your reference and revised arrival details. Rental service hours are 6:30 AM to 11 PM daily, while the office is staffed from 8 AM to 9 PM. Your exact meeting arrangement still needs to be agreed with the team.
- Accept the full quote to confirm your reservation; sending the request alone does not confirm it.
- Keep the private quote/confirmation link and reservation reference accessible.
- Bring your valid driver’s licence and a way to pay at pickup.
- Save +501 629 3655 and +501 600 3332 before traveling.
- Agree the return location and leave time for handover before your departing flight or ferry.
