Top tips for renting a car in Suriname
- Suriname car rental is a wonderfully independent way to explore this small, tropical South American country. With limited public transportation beyond the main cities, renting a vehicle will let you explore safely. You will need to familiarize yourself with driving on the left-hand side of the road. Many car rentals have manual transmissions, meaning you would need to specify with your car rental company should you require an automatic. Keep your seat belt on at all times and obey the road signs, and driving in Suriname should be a breeze.
- Suriname car rental will be easier if you are realistic about the road conditions of third-world countries. While a sedan or compact car will be fine if you are staying in the cities, SUVs are far more helpful with the rather prevalent pothole situation, even in urban areas. Your SUV car rental will also be a good choice for the many riverside and coastal roads, as well as a great number of roads that are still unpaved.
- Traffic in the capital of Paramaribo is always rather heavy. While drivers are mostly tolerant in Suriname, you should look out for speeding, pedestrians crossing the road, animals wandering into the roads, and reckless passing of other vehicles. It is best to drive defensively and cautiously and be aware that driving at night is less safe due to insufficient lighting in most places.
- When travelling in Suriname with children in your car rental, it is the law for them to be appropriately buckled up in a car seat at all times while the car is moving. The law states that infants will need to be in backward-facing car seats until they weigh 40 pounds (18 kg). Older children will need booster seats until 8 years of age. All adult passengers will need to remain buckled up.
