Good to know
Check each company's age requirements before booking your car rental in the Bahamas. Rules can differ, and added fees or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, just uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to browse your options.
Add a car seat to your Nassau car rental booking if you're bringing the kids. Rules change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest option.
You'll have to provide some documents when you pick up your ride. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And remember to stay on the left side of the road in the Bahamas.
Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 70kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in the Bahamas. The only guaranteed way to stay safe to drive is to avoid alcohol completely.
Around 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid busy hours generally for a smoother drive.
The Bahamian dollar (BSD) is the currency you'll be using for general expenses and activities. Pay with a card when you can, but have some cash handy when electronic payments aren't possible.
