Getting to and Around Antigua
Rental
Cars
Renting a car is an ideal way to discover more
of Antigua while on your vacation. The cost is about US$40-50 per
day. In addition to a valid driver's license from your country
of residence, or an international driver's license, a permit to
drive in Antigua is required. The rental agency can assist you
in getting this temporary license, which costs approximately US$20
and is valid for three months. Don't forget that driving here is
on the left side of the road! Here is a listing of rental agencies:
