On '''Cuba''' people with a private car are required to pick up hitchhikers. This sounds good but actually less then 40% of the cars passing by are private cars and traffic in total is pretty low already. There are yellow police officers who stop cars and oblige the driver to give a lift to the people waiting on the street. Nevertheless the "amarillos" who are supposed to stop the car and ask the driver where he/she is going complain that less and less cars actually stop. However it's common to pay the driver.

You can search at the ''Marina Hemingway'' (Tel: 204 5088 from La Habana) in Jamanitas, [[La Habana]].
Note: The Emigration requires you to go with your captain 72 hours before departure to the Imigration office to enroll you on the list of passengers. If you can't make it 72 hours before departure a little tip might do the trick as well.
