Driving in the Bahamas

Essential car rental and self-driving tips for George Town, Exuma

Do I really need an International Driving Permit if I'm from the US?

While US tourists can technically drive with a valid US license, rental agencies in the Bahamas strongly recommend an IDP. About 80% of rental companies will ask for one, and without it you may face delays or be turned away. Get one from AAA before your trip—it takes 15 minutes and costs around $20. Don't risk your vacation starting with a car rental fiasco.

I'm from the US—will I have to drive on the wrong side of the road?

Yes, and it's trickier than you think. The Bahamas drives on the left (British style), but rental cars have left-hand steering (US spec). Your muscle memory from home will fight you constantly. Take it slow in parking lots and intersections. Many accidents here involve tourists forgetting which lane to use. Consider hiring a local driver for the first day if you're nervous.

I'm 23—is there a 'young driver surcharge' and how much will it cost?

Most agencies in Exuma charge a young driver fee for ages 21-24, typically $15-$25 per day on top of the base rate. At 23, expect to pay roughly $18/day extra. Some agencies won't rent to under-21 at all. Budget an extra $100-$150 for a week's rental if you're in this age range.

How far is the nearest gas station from George Town, and should I fill up every time?

There are only 2-3 gas stations in all of Exuma, and the main one is in George Town. Fill up whenever you're below half a tank, especially before heading to remote areas like the Exuma Cays. Gas costs about 30-40% more than in the US (around $5.50-$6.50/gallon). Some rental agreements have a full-to-full policy—returning empty can cost you $80+.

What's the road condition like between George Town and major attractions?

Mixed bag. The main road (Queen's Highway) runs along the island but has potholes that can swallow a small car. Navigation apps like Google Maps are unreliable here—about 40% of roads aren't properly mapped. Download offline maps before you go. During rainy season (May-October), some roads become impassable. A high-clearance vehicle isn't mandatory but will save your undercarriage.

It's hurricane season—will my rental be covered if a storm ruins the car?

Standard CDW does not cover hurricane damage. If a named storm hits during your trip, you're liable for the full vehicle value. Check your personal travel insurance or credit card coverage first. During peak hurricane season (August-October), consider buying the agency's hurricane waiver ($30-$50/day) or simply avoid booking trips during these months.
