St Kitts / Car Rental
It is fun having a car with which to explore on a trip to the Caribbean. If you are staying at one of the plantation house hotels in the north of St Kitts, or wish to visit the relatively remote beaches on the south-eastern peninsular it gives you the freedom to go where you want and it means you can explore at your own pace. If you are staying in a villa, a car will be essential, because you will need to fetch your groceries.
You will need a visitor’s licence if you wish to drive on St Kitts, and these can be obtained through your car rental agency or at a police station on presentation of your licence from home. It lasts three months and costs US$25.
We recommend TDC Thrifty Car Rentals for their consistently reliable service. If you wish to visit Nevis for the day, and have hired a car through TDC, then they are happy to make an exchange for the day so that you can drive while you are in Nevis too.
