Top tips for hiring a car in The Bahamas

  • When driving with children, infants under 20 pounds must sit in a rear-facing child seat, while those between 20 and 40 pounds must be placed in a convertible car seat. Booster seats are required for those kids over 40 pounds but under 54 inches in height. Car agencies will certainly charge to provide child seats, so consider bringing your own if you’re traveling with young children.
  • All international visitors should know that you will need a valid driver’s license and an International Driver’s Permit to rent a car in The Bahamas, except for US and UK visitors, who only need a valid driver’s license for any visit that does not exceed three months’ duration. Any extended stays in the country will require the need for a Bahamian driver’s license.
  • Although the major centers of Nassau and Providence have good public transportation links, areas outside of these are not as fortunate. Public transportation does not run around the clock as in most major US cities, so renting a car in The Bahamas is not a bad idea if you are traveling outside the big towns, and may be cheaper than using a taxi service over long distances.
  • Unless you only need a rental car for a specific purpose, it makes sense to pick one up at the airport when you arrive in the country. The Bahamas adopts the "One-Way Car Rental" policy, so if you rent a car for the day on Grand Bahama Island, you can return it to the airport in Nassau before your flight home.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in The Bahamas for $125 or less
  • Small hire cars in The Bahamas are around 28% cheaper than other car types, on average

    Anyone intending to rent a car in The Bahamas should know that the legal speed limit to be observed is 32 km/h (or 20 mph) in towns and 80 km/h (or 50 mph) on highways, unless otherwise indicated.
