Guide to Car Rental

A rental car gives you the freedom to explore beaches, villages and lookouts at your own pace. Driving is on the left in Trinidad and Tobago, roads can be narrow and winding, and traffic around Port of Spain is heavy at peak times.

Visitors aged 17 or older can drive on a foreign licence issued by a country that signed the Geneva Convention, for up to 90 days from arrival, or on an International Driving Permit. Carry your licence, the certificate of insurance and a travel document showing your arrival date.

Questions visitors ask

What do I need to rent a car?

A valid driving licence, ID or passport, and a payment card for the deposit. Each company sets its own minimum age and deposit, so check before you book.

Is insurance included?

Policies vary. Ask what the insurance covers, what the excess is, and whether extra cover is available.

Can I take a rental car to Tobago?

Check with the rental company first, as some do not allow their cars on the ferry. Renting a separate car in Tobago is often simpler.
