Cuba Travel: License Plate Colors

Cuba Travel: License Plate Colors

On my trip to Havana, I had learned about the different License Plate Colors that Cars in Cuba can have.

The three main ones that were told to me were blue, red and yellow.

Blue License Plate meant it was a government vehicle. There are spots in cuba where people are waiting for a ride. If you drive a government vehicle with a blue license plate, and do not pick up people waiting, you will loose your vehicle and priveleges.

Red License Plate means a tourist vehicle. I seen a few Toyota Corollas designated as tourist vehicles. It also makes everyone know who you are, a tourist!

Yellow License Plate means a vehicle privately owned. To buy a car in Cuba, you have to buy a car that is older than 1957 I believe they had told me. So any yellow plated cars are usually old American cars. The Chevrolet I was in had a 3 gear stick shifter by the steering wheel! Quite odd to see. Also, if you privately own a vehicle, you are not allowed to give people drives for money. If you do so, and are caught, the government will impound your car and you are left with nothing.

It has a contrasting landscape ranging from beautiful and mesmerizing beaches to sprawling and craggy mountain ranges. Limestone Mountains loom over the fields of tobacco, utilised for their famed cigars, providing a stunning scenic view. The natura...

It is titled Cuba Classics: A Celebration of Vintage American Automobiles . This book has received many great reviews: "Yes, we've all seen great photos of classic cars in Cuba--but this book will make you swoon.
