Car Rental

Driving on Bequia's narrow roads is on the LEFT.

Local Driving Permits are required. These are available from the Revenue Office in Port Elizabeth on production of a valid national or international Driving License from your own country, and payment of a fee of EC$50 (about US$ 19).

There are some rental cars available on Bequia as well as very convenient taxi and minivan service.

The covered pickup truck is a common taxi in Bequia and very practical. Taxi rates are set by the government, it's always wise to agree on the rate prior to departing. Rates should be quoted in EC dollars but it's best to clarify this as sometimes rates may be quoted in US dollars, especially for an island tour. Mini Buses (vans) are also available for those wishing a more traditional ride. Check with the Tourism Authority, at the pier in town, for rates and latest information. Taxis can also be contact on VHF Ch 68 for those on yachts.
