KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Providenciales
- The streets in Providenciales lack traffic lights, which isn’t common for many cities. However, there are lots of roundabouts and left first priority for drivers. Therefore, remember that cars move clockwise on the roundabouts when driving your rental car. This means you'll find many vehicles with roundabout priority before you. Thus, you need patience when driving on Providenciales streets because of the oncoming traffic in roundabouts. Again, it's tricky when entering two-lane roads because roads seem straight through the intersections. Thus, research these streets before renting from cheap car rentals in Providenciales.
- Driving a rental gives you the freedom to visit iconic places in the city, following your fixed schedule. One of the best places to visit is Taylor Bay Beach, located 5 miles (8km) and a 10-minutedrive from the city center. As you navigate the city, you can explore other beaches, including Malcom's Road Beach, located 10.9 miles (17.5)km from the city. It takes you about 20min when driving via Millennium Hwy. Anna’s Art Gallery is 8.3 miles (13.3)km and a 15-minute drive from the city center via Leeward Hwy. However, a public bus takes about 30min to cover this distance.
- Drunk driving is illegal in Providenciales. When driving within the city, you’ll notice several local law enforcers with breathalyzers beside the road. Your alcohol blood concentration should be less than 0.08. DUI state laws in the city state that if you're guilty of drunk driving, you pay a fine of $5000 or face a 12 months imprisonment or both. Again, you may be disqualified from holding your driver's license for not less than a year. Thus, research new DUI laws of the city before booking cheap car rentals in Providenciales to avoid penalties, hefty fines and imprisonment. You can also ask about DUI laws when booking with Providenciales car rentals.
- Whether traveling alone or as a group, Providenciales car rentals have a suitable model for nearly everyone, allowing you to take in different attractions in the town, including the Northwest Point National Park, with bird watching and snorkeling activities. Providenciales also offers beautiful beach experiences, such as Grace Bay Beach, located around 8 miles from the town. Rent a van and take your companions on a relaxing ride along the long and winding Venetian Road with scenic surroundings. The small-sized Providenciales town does not have public transportation, making navigation with a car rental convenient and saves some expenses that you otherwise would spend on costly taxis.
- When traveling to Providenciales, you can easily find various car rentals at the Providenciales International Airport terminal, including Avis, Payless, Sixt, and Europcar. Their counters are located in the baggage claim area. Other Providenciales car rentals offer complimentary shuttle services to their offices, such as Budget, Hertz, and Thrifty, transporting you from the terminal to the pickup station. You can find this shuttle service just outside the terminal building.
- Providenciales’ Leeward Highway is its main expressway, featuring two travel lanes in both directions. With no public transport, locals and tourists travel around the city via taxis and rented vehicles along this carriageway that spans about 5.5 miles from downtown to the Long Bay area, making it one of the busiest road systems in the area. Be alert because the road doesn’t have many traffic circles, which can consistently regulate speeds. It’s essential to note that the city follows the UK Highway Code by driving on the left, but has the speed limit signs posted in miles per hour. Be mindful that some car models come from the Japanese market and feature speedometers marked in kilometers per hour. The city also imports most vehicles from Florida, which come with left-hand drive systems, so pick your vehicle according to your comfort when driving.
- Generally, traffic is manageable in the city, with the evening rush hour at approximately 5pm. Stay away from the Leeward Highway at this time and wait to start your journey at around 8pm. This city has a convenient climate that makes it an ideal destination when you want to get away from the frosty winter conditions at home. The average Providenciales weather ranges from around 73°F to 90°F, making the conditions great for driving at nearly any time of the year.

- Book your rental car in Providenciales at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:

The whole process was a complete nightmare! We were given a downgrade from the car we originally rented and told we could pay twice as much for the car we originally rented if we still “wanted it.” A total bait and switch! Also we stood in the sun arguing with them about this for 1.5hrs with a 6 year old. Never rent from this Thrifty or the Hertz which are basically combined!4.0 Mediocre

Pros:
The staff was friendly at the airport and shuttle. Facility was close to airport, though there are rental facilities at the actual airport.Cons:
The car I reserved was not the car I was given. It seriously looked like a golf cart. The employee said “oh if you rent online they always tell you the wrong car”. So, beware. It will not have enough seats or trunk space. You will be forced to upgrade to a bigger golf cart.4.0 Mediocre

Cons:
1) They are NOT on-site at the airport - you have to take 3 minute van-ride out to the avis car rental center. Not a big deal, but if you are expecting a curbside pickup of your rental car, you will not get it. 2) They move REALLY slow at the front desk to get your pre-paid, pre-booked car ready. We waited for 40 minutes, for what i've got done in 7 minutes in other Avis centers 3) The Car was rather worn out, and beat up, and was not worth the COST we paid for it.2.0 Poor

Cons:
Our quote from kayak was less than what hertz charged us on the spot in Providenciales. Even though we had a confirmation showing the correct price, hertz did not honor this. The agent at the Hertz counter was also very rude and unwilling to help us reconcile the charges. Overall, will not use Hertz again.2.0 Poor
Apr. 2018
Pros:
I specifically reserved a one way rental from the airport to the grace bay road location which shows up as a PO Box on the kayak reservation. However Hertz tried to force me to return it to the airport stating they do not take returns at that location which is BS IMHO since I was allowed to reserve it that what. The were going to charge me a few to leave it there which I insisted was unauthorized and I would contest it with my credit card before I walked out very upset on my vacatiion. They finally decided not to charge the fee after I called later but I will never rent from Hertz again. What a mess!2.0 Poor
Mar. 2017
Cons:
We rented a mini-van with Hertz in Turks and Caicos. Within two days we had a blow out...the tires were in horrific condition. The steel belts were literally showing through the rubber of the tire with virtually no treads. To think that Hertz would furnish a car with such tires. Although I have changed dozens of tires, this one had a release for the spare that was under the console with a special tool that was required. No owners manual or instructions were included. I called Hertz and they wanted to charge us a service charge to come out to change the flat. It took us over an hour to figure out how the tire (located under the vehicle) could be lowered and extracted from the vehicle. I use Hertz when I travel for business and having a choice, will go with another car rental company...one that cares about the safety of me and my family.Budget

Mar. 2021
Pros:
The staff was friendly and the pick up was relatively easy. The car was old and worn but I expected that as this is a budget rental. There was no one there for the drop off and I had to just park the car and drop the key. They charged me an additional $25 for something but I can not find out what it was. No answer on their phone. The car also had a loose battery cable and it would not start at least a 1/2 dozen times until I opened the hood and reconnected it. I had no way to tighten it so it continued throughout the rental periodCons:
