Top tips for hiring a car in the Turks and Caicos Islands
- Having your own vehicle is an easy way to get around the Turks and Caicos Islands. There is no public transport on the island, so without a car, you’ll be limited to taxis and tour buses, which can be quite expensive. Many of the places you’ll want to visit including hotels, restaurants and beaches may not be within easy walking distance of each other, so you’ll likely want to have your own vehicle for the entirety of your trip. Bear in mind that if you’re travelling between the islands, you’ll likely need to pick up a new vehicle on each island, as there aren’t generally any car ferries between them. The exception is North and Middle Caicos, which are connected by a causeway.
- You may want to consider bringing your own car seats if you’re travelling to the Turks and Caicos Islands with children. While you can usually get child seats if you book with a Turks and Caicos Islands car hire company on Providenciales, you may find the other islands don’t have seats available. You can also sometimes hire car seats from children’s stores on the islands, but it’s often easiest to have your own.
- Each island offers a slightly different driving experience. Providenciales is usually the busiest island, and you may find the conditions overwhelming at times. Additionally, if you plan on heading out to the national parks on the west coast, you may want to consider hiring a four-wheel drive. The other islands generally have very light traffic. You can typically get around on paved roads; however, there are some sections of unpaved roads where you may want to take extra caution.
- Prepare to ask for directions and consider bringing a map with you to the Turks and Caicos Islands. While you can often add a GPS to your booking for car hire in the Turks and Caicos Islands, you’ll find that it often doesn’t work and when it does it may be inaccurate. Some companies will provide a map, but it’s best to bring your own just in case. You can find more accurate maps on the Visit Turks and Caicos Islands tourism website.
- Book your rental car in Turks and Caicos Islands at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Turks and Caicos Islands are around 44% cheaper than other car types, on average

Roundabouts go clockwise and, remember, that cars already in the roundabout have priority.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in the Turks and Caicos Islands?

If you’re younger, you’ll have a better chance of finding vehicles on Providenciales. You won’t need an International Driving Licence as long as your normal driving licence is in English. You’ll usually need to have your driving licence, passport, credit or debit card and a copy of your booking when you pick up your vehicle.
How are gas prices in the Turks and Caicos Islands?
Petrol costs roughly USD 2 (GBP 1.60) a litre and around USD 7.50 (GBP 5.90) a gallon. Petrol stations are common on most islands, and you shouldn’t ever be too far from one. However, Middle Caicos doesn’t have any petrol stations, so make sure you fuel up on North Caicos. Bear in mind that some stations may only accept cash, so make sure you have enough on hand.
What are the speed limits in the Turks and Caicos Islands?
Speed limits are relatively low. You’ll generally need to stick to 20 mph when driving in towns and 40 mph on the remaining roads, including the Leeward Highway. It’s possible that the company you’ve booked car hire in the Turks and Caicos Islands with will provide a vehicle with the speed marked in kilometres. So it might be useful to know that 40 mph is roughly 64 km/h and 20 mph is around 32 km/h.
