Top tips for renting a car in Pointe-à-Pitre
- Pointe-à-Pitre is a beloved holiday destination famous for its fish markets, the scenic coastline, the Musée Saint-John Perse, and many other places of interest. Nestled in the middle of Guadeloupe, this city is also the perfect base to explore the whole island – and there is no better way to do this than by renting a car. Make the most of your trip and become the creator of your own schedule.
- Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport is only a 15-minute drive from the city center in the inland. After landing, travelers will find a number of agencies at the car rental center, which is situated in an annex close to the North Terminal. The service desks can be found on level 0. Once the car is picked up, travelers should head toward the Boulevard des Héros to reach Pointe-à-Pitre center.
- Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe is governed by France and the same road regulations apply in most places. The rule of right is strictly adhered to, meaning any vehicle coming from the right – also in a roundabout – has the right of way, unless posted otherwise. Plan journeys ahead of time and consider taking a GPS system, as everything is posted in French and English is not primarily used on the island. Drunk driving is also a very bad idea in Pointe-à-Pitre, as the regulations are very strict and the absolute upper allowed alcohol limit ends at 0.05, rather than 0.08.
- Pointe-à-Pitre has increased traffic during the summer, since it is a popular travel destination. Additionally, driving at night outside the city limits should be avoided if possible, as some roads are not well-lit or sign-posted, and it may be confusing as to which street regulations prevail. Try to plan your travels in advance so that you return to the accommodation in time to enjoy a hassle-free driving experience.
