Top tips for renting a car in Caribbean

  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Caribbean for $36 or less
  • Intermediate rental cars in Caribbean are around 45% cheaper than other car types, on average
  • The Caribbean features well-maintained coastal roads and highways that can be navigated with a two-wheel-drive Caribbean car rental. These vehicles are usually more fuel-efficient and easier to handle on well-maintained roads. However, if your travel schedule includes exploring more remote or mountainous regions, consider a four-wheel-drive (4WD) car rental in the Caribbean. A 4WD car provides better traction and stability on rugged terrain, making it suitable for a smoother journey in less developed areas. It's essential to research the specific conditions of the islands you intend to visit and tailor your car rental choice accordingly.
  • In the Caribbean, the rules about car seats and child safety in the car can vary from country to country, but there are common similarities. Generally, child restraint systems are mandatory in the region until the age of 4. Children under 12 years of age should not travel in the front seat.  Moreover, children under 5 years of age must use a child restraint system in the back.
  • Crossing borders while traveling in the Caribbean can be a convenient way to explore multiple destinations. However, there are several important considerations to keep in mind before getting a car rental in the Caribbean and venturing across borders. It's essential to check with your car rental agency to see if they allow cross-border travel and if any extra fees apply. Most rental providers will require you to provide your driver's license, passport, and a valid credit card for the rental. Furthermore, you'll likely need to obtain permission in the form of a border-crossing letter from the rental provider. Moreover, it's vital to research the specific border regulations of the countries you plan to visit.
  • The Caribbean region features a network of major toll roads that serve to connect various islands and facilitate interregional travel. One of these toll roads is the Sir Sidney Poitier Bridge in Nassau, Bahamas, connecting New Providence and the Paradise Islands. Another major toll road is the Jamaica North-South Highway in Jamaica. Toll collection methods across these roads usually vary, but electronic tolling is common. Most tolls can be paid using electronic transponders affixed to car rentals in the Caribbean, but travelers can also pay in cash at toll booths.

  • Should I get a car rental in the Caribbean?

    Car rentals in the Caribbean offer several advantages over public transportation. Caribbean car rentals provide travelers with the flexibility and freedom to explore the region at their own pace. Unlike rigid public transportation schedules, rental cars allow tourists to create their own itineraries, visit off-the-beaten-path destinations, and linger at scenic spots. Moreover, some of the Caribbean attractions that you'll conveniently access via a Caribbean car rental include El Yunque National Forest, Grace Bay Beach, and the world-famous Dunn's River Falls and Park.

  • What is driving a car rental in the Caribbean like?

    The driving experience in the Caribbean can be both exhilarating and challenging. It's crucial to note that each Caribbean island may have its own specific regulations and driving habits. Generally, traffic rules in the Caribbean tend to be more relaxed. Speed limits may be loosely enforced, and road signage can vary in quality and consistency. Drivers should be prepared for a mix of well-maintained highways and narrow, winding roads that require careful navigation. Local drivers may display a more assertive style, including frequent passing and horn honking, so patience is key. Moreover, be mindful of pedestrians, animals, and occasional road hazards, especially in rural areas.

  • How old do you have to be to get a car rental in the Caribbean?

    The minimum age to rent a car in the Caribbean can vary depending on the specific island and the rental provider you choose. Generally, most rental car agencies in the Caribbean require drivers to be at least 21 years old. However, some providers have a higher minimum age, usually 25, and additional fees or restrictions for younger drivers. It's essential to check with the rental provider you plan to use and carefully review their policies, as they can differ from one location to another.
