Well, taxis in LIM/Callao pose their own share of risks.

The total rental cost was only 25 USD/day and actually driving on the streets of LIM is not nearly as bad as you might think once you leave the Hertz lot. A relatively low proportion of the population can afford a car - traffic ooes not equate to BOG for example in spite of a comparable population - and there are many wide, limited-access boulevards to downtown/Miraflores. I think itīs tougher to drive in KUL/MEX/FCO just to name some Iīve tried and felt challenged by.

Besides imagine what driving the car in LIM will do for your cojones/street cred at home
