Benefits of Hiring a Car from V.C. Bird Airport:

1. Immediate Accessibility: Skip the waiting for shuttles or taxis. With a rented car, start your Antigua journey right from the airport.
2. Flexibility: Move to the island's rhythms; whether it's a sudden detour to a hidden beach or a prolonged stay at a historic fort.
3. Economical: Especially if traveling with family or a group, renting can be more cost-effective than multiple taxis or tours.

Exiting the Airport:

• Primary Exit Road: After leaving V.C. Bird International Airport, you'll primarily use the Sir George H. Walter Highway to head to St. John's or other parts of the island.
• Distance to St. John's: The capital city, St. John's, is only about 8 km away, making for a quick 15-minute drive.

Unique Driving Customs & Rules:

• Drive on the Left: Unlike the USA, traffic moves on the left side of the road in Antigua.
• Roundabouts: Vehicles inside the roundabout have the right of way.
• Seat Belts: Wearing seat belts is mandatory for all passengers, not just the driver.
• Speed Limits: Typically, it's 40 mph on highways and 20 mph in towns, but always adhere to local signage.

Selecting Your Rental Vehicle:

• Compact & Economy Cars: Great for solo travelers or couples primarily exploring St. John's and main attractions.
• SUVs: Ideal for families or those planning to explore off-the-beaten-path sites where road conditions may vary.

Car Hire Tips:

1. Book in Advance: Especially during tourist season, cars can be in high demand. Pre-booking ensures you get the model you prefer.
2. Driver's License: A valid driver’s license from your home country is typically acceptable for short stays. However, some car hire agencies may require an Antiguan driving permit.

Renting a car at V.C. Bird International Airport is a convenient way to drive straight into your Antiguan adventure. With the freedom of your vehicle, the island's treasures, from bustling St. John's to serene beaches, await your discovery.
