Hiring a car in Trinidad is a great option for exploring the Caribbean Island of Trinidad as you will be able to discover a variety of landscapes, rainforest, and beautiful coves and beaches in the comfort of your own vehicle. The advantages of driving will enable you to access more remote locations which have limited or crowded public transport and you will have the freedom to make your own itinerary. Rental vehicles can be hired directly from Trinidad Piarco Airport (POS) which will help you get on your journey quicker and you can reach the vibrant capital city of Port of Spain in just a half hour drive from the airport along Churchill Roosevelt Highway. From the airport, you can also access the northern coast easily, where the island’s most popular beaches and bays are situated. You can reach the southern coast in around two hours.
Driving is on the left in Trinidad, and you can access a good network of toll-free multi-lane highways. The Beetham Highway is the major route in Trinidad which runs from Barataria and connects with the Churchill Roosevelt Highway to Port of Spain which runs from the east to the west of the island. Local driving conditions can seem fast and more aggressive than what you may be used to, so drive with caution and try to avoid night-time driving for safety as drink-driving is not uncommon. Be especially careful in cities. Taxi drivers can be notorious for suddenly stopping without warning and pedestrians seldom take notice of traffic lights, so be alert and on your guard to navigate the streets safely. Local drivers can be very laid-back and road rage is rare with horn beeping generally used as a courtesy gesture.
To rent a car in Trinidad, you must be at least 21 years old and have held your driving licence for at least two years. Some companies, however, may stipulate a minimum age of anywhere up to 25. You must have a full UK driving licence which you can drive with in Trinidad for up to 90 days. If you wish to drive for longer than this, then an International Driving Permit will be required.
