This is the type of destination where travelers will often want to explore some of the beautiful scenery and amazing attractions that the island offers. If you plan on only staying in one location on the island, you most likely do not need a car, but if you are the type of traveler that will be exploring quite a bit, you will most certainly want a car. The island does offer limited public transportation and taxi options, but these can often be quite expensive and inconvenient, and having a car allows you the freedom to visit wonderful destinations on your schedule.

The first thing to know about driving here is that vehicles operate on the right side of the road. Quite a few of the roads here are somewhat narrow, and the weather can be unpredictable. That makes it a very good idea to ensure you have supplemental insurance when driving in a rental vehicle. One thing that drivers love about traveling here is that road signage and GPS coverage are excellent, so the chances of getting lost during your trips is going to be quite low. Finally, and most importantly for visitors, you will come across quite a few roundabouts when driving here, so make sure you understand the rules for entering and exiting these unique intersections.

Travelers who are at least 18 years old and also have had a full and valid driver's license for at least one year can rent a car here from most of the major rental car companies. For those drivers under the age of 25, you may pay an additional surcharge for your rental, and there can also be certain restrictions on the type of vehicle you may rent.
