 Antigua and Barbuda Car Rental Mini Guide

Tucked away in the heart of the Caribbean, Antigua is a paradise of golden beaches, vibrant culture, and rich history. To truly experience the allure of this island, driving through its sun-kissed roads is unparalleled. If you're contemplating a road adventure in Antigua, here’s your definitive guide to renting a car and navigating the island.

Why Opt for a Car in Antigua?

  1. Island at Your Disposal: Explore beyond popular spots like Dickenson Bay and uncover lesser-known beaches or hidden cultural gems.
  2. Personalized Exploration: Stop at local eateries, spend sunrise at a secluded beach, or catch sunset views atop a hill, all at your own pace.
  3. Economical for Groups: For families or groups, renting a car can be a more budget-friendly option than multiple cab rides.
Booking your car rental early not only guarantees availability but also allows you to secure the best rates and choice of vehicles. Don't wait until the last minute; book your rental car with Rhinocarhire today and set off on your Antigua adventure with confidence.

Important Rental Considerations:

  1. Driving License: While your home country's license may be acceptable for short stays, an Antiguan temporary driving license is often required, which you can obtain at the rental agency.
  2. Drive on the Left: Adhering to British tradition, driving in Antigua is on the left side of the road.
  3. Speed Limits: Typically, it's 40 km/h in towns and up to 80 km/h on open roads. Always heed posted signs.
  4. Insurance: Given the island’s relaxed driving style, opting for Premium insurance is recommended for peace of mind.

Selecting Your  Hire Vehicle:

  1. Compact Cars: Ideal for solo travelers or couples and are convenient for city drives.
  2. SUVs: For those venturing into off-road terrains or less-trodden paths.
  3. Climate Considerations: With tropical weather year-round, ensure your car is equipped with functional air conditioning.

Hiring a car in Antigua not only offers freedom but also an opportunity to craft your unique island story. From meandering through coastal roads to diving deep into the local life, a personal vehicle is your passport to an enriched Antiguan experience.
