If
you’re thinking about a good way to get
around and see the best of Tobago,
then driving is certainly an option for
you. There are a number of Tobago car
rental services that you can easily hire
a car
from.
However before we get to where
you can find a car to rent it’s important
to go over some driving
basics.

Driving in the
Caribbean can be fun and exciting and a great way to see
all those Tobago
attractions. On the same token it can
also somewhat be a bit of a challenge.
Not all the roads are
perfect so you can easily encounter a number of bumps in
the road. It’s important that you remember to wear your
seatbelt at all times. Driving at night may be a bit
trickier than driving during the day especially in rural
areas. You need to watch out for stray animals and roads
without any lighting.
It should also be
noted that driving in this country is done on the left
hand side.
Above all this you
need to remember that you will need to have the right
permit to be able to get a Tobago car rental service to
hire a vehicle out to you. To be able to get a valid
driving permit you will need to be at least 25 years of
age and have two years experience in
driving.
An international
driver’s permit, driving permit from the Bahamas,
England, Germany, France and US will make you eligible
for a 90 day driving permit on the island.
