Tobago Car Rentals
Rental cars are the best way to see Tobago
By far, the best way to get around the island is in a Tobago rental car, giving you the freedom to explore on your own time, and costing much less than a taxi tour. There are a lot of Tobago car rental agencies to choose from, but a word of warning; many of the rental outlets offer sub-standard cars and their business tactics are not always good. Our recommendation is to rent from a known company at the airport. As much as we love to support local businesses, we also don’t want you to be surprised when you pick up a car whose windows don’t roll down and needs to be jump-started every mile down the road!
Ready to drive on the left side of the road with the cars controls on the right? If you are coming from a right-hand nation, this can be daunting, but you’ll pick it up in no time. While the roads outside the cities are not always in good condition and not well-marked, as long as you go slowly you can even find excitement in dodging potholes with this beauty surrounding you. Use caution when driving in Tobago as the locals do not tend to use turn signals, sometimes preferring the old hand-signals out the window.
You will need an international driver’s permit to drive in Tobago, which you can get at home if you live in the U.S. This is good for up to 90 days. When you pick up your rental car, you will also need to show your return or ongoing ticket for less than three months from your arrival.
