Car Hire

The English have left their mark... We still drive on the left. Be alert and use caution when driving on the roads because they are above all those of our Saint Lucian friends, and they know them better than we do.

Formalities

Temporary driving permits are issued by the immigration authorities at the two airports upon presentation of a foreign or international driving licence. The rate is 20 US$ or 40 EC$. Several car hire agencies can issue these temporary driving licences directly at their counter. Average weekly rates range between 300 and 400 US$ - which is about 65 US$ per day, according to the type of vehicle hired.
