Driving tips for your Providenciales rental car
Turks and Caicos is a British territory, so cars drive on the left-hand side, yet most cars are USA imports with left-handed steering. If you are concerned about this, talk to your rental car provider about hiring a car with right-hand steering.
● Drive on the left-hand side, overtake on the right.
● Beware of shuttle buses and school buses which make frequent stops; passengers often unload into traffic lanes.
● The island doesn’t have any traffic lights so roundabouts are common. Always give way to traffic on the right.
● Look out for potholes and poorly maintained roads.
Parking options at the airport and downtown Providenciales
If you need to park at the Providenciales Airport, use the small parking lot within walking distance to the terminal. Expect to pay USD$2 per hour, USD$25 for the day or USD$175 for the week.
Finding parking on the island is easy and almost always free. Most hotels and businesses offer free on-site parking. Obey designated parking signs and never leave valuables in the car.
