First things first, let’s get you on the road! One thing you might notice straight away is that unlike in the UK, in Antigua and Barbuda vehicles are driven on the right-hand side of the road. When renting a car, an international driving permit is not required for British tourists, your UK driving license will be sufficient.

Car Class recommendation

Compact or mid-sized cars are ideal for St. John's narrow city streets. If you're planning on exploring more rugged terrain in the countryside, consider a 4x4 vehicle.

Parking in the city

Parking within the city can be a bit challenging due to limited space. However, there are plenty of paid parking facilities available.
