PM me if you are interested to spare time.

I am making a trip to El Salvador largely to do some focused surfing. Hoping to amply sample the scene as well thought it looks like the beach towns don't have much of a scene. Reading the forum to get my bearings. Should be fun.

I'm going tomorrow. I have to decide on 6 or 8 days. I only have my ticket to enter at the moment. I'll see if I don't have a problem renting a car this time. I tried to rent a car before and the people weren't at the desk when I arrived. Everyone else tried to make me rent an expensive SUV. I think if I can't find a decent deal on a rental car I'll stick to 6 days in SS, and if I can get a car I'll do 8 days and see other parts of the country.

If you rent at the airport as you're leaving there is only one reasonably priced company, it's the far left booth, I think Budget. On my last trip their booth was empty and so I had to go w / one of the others. Just ask each one what their rates are, they're all the same except the one I am referring to. They don't tell you the bottom line at the booth. You will be shuttled to another area where the car is and there the rental companies will force their insurance on you and so it gets expensive fast. I felt at the time of my transaction I was being blatantly ripped off and I was. When driving El Salvador it's fast paced in the city and they are fairly wild drivers there so you need insurance. If you don't have it and something happens you're fucked.

I second this!!

The rent a car companies their are a complete rip off. Even Budget. I have been double billed, charged for damage that wasn't there, told one price only to go to the lot and be quoted a price that is triple.

Many times I ate the extra charge because fighting it took months and multiple phone calls. When I talked to the Budget agent on the phone he told me San Salvador was one of their worst franchises and they were about to lose their charter. I am surprised they are still in business. I highly recommend either renting a car from a local company in the city or just hiring a taxi for the day. Most will do it for $6-$10 an hour at the most.

Hi guys,

Is anybody in San Salvador during Christmas and New Year?

I am planning to go to Kiss fresh and other places I do not know yet. Maybe we can meet before, its much more safe and much more funny.

I also appreciate if anybody have a lead. Are the places open these days?

Its a bit of a tough time to go. Some clubs close for the entire week between Christmas and New Years some will open up. However, Christmas eve (Dec 24) and New Years eve (Dec 31) everything will be dead / closed. Especially New Years Eve. I was there once during NYE and the streets were deserted. Everything closed. It was like a ghost city. People celebrate in their houses with family. We ended up celebrating NYE at the hotel bar in the Hilton Hotel. Other than a couple businessmen we were the only ones there and that was the only place open. However after 1 am on NYE some bars open up and people go out to party. There will be plenty of fireworks and gun shots in the air both NYE and Christmas Eve. The other days in between should be fairly normal with most clubs, bars, restaurants, casas etc open for business. However, check the hours of operation they may vary. A good way to do that is look up the club/bar on face book. They usually post their updated hours and days of closure.

I'm going to stop by a few nights. I might rent a car because it is very cheap, and as you know a taxi from the airport is normally $30, but going to the airport some people will do it for $25 if you are lucky. I'll check out the spots I have before, and will mostly liked see the volcano places and maybe the ocean.
