Driving in Lima is hazardous. Not only are the roads in a bad condition, but local drivers are reckless and aggressive. Car rental is therefore best avoided. The regular buses serving the city consist of microbus vans and larger 'school bus' vehicles. These are plentiful and inexpensive, although uncomfortable and frequently involved in accidents. These 'micros' and 'combis' can be flagged down in the street. Destinations are usually not marked so ask the driver before boarding. Taxicabs are also plentiful and cheap, of no particular make or model, but recognizable by plastic signs on the windshield. Taxis are not metered and the fare should be agreed before departure.
