Good to know
Rental age requirements aren't the same everywhere. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're under the minimum age, you could pay extra and face some limits. Check the terms set by each supplier before booking your car rental in the Bahamas.
Travelling with kids? Car seat regulations vary according to the location, and the right setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Make sure you add the right one to your NAS car rental booking.
You'll need to show some documents when collecting your car. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with room for the security deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stay on the left side of the road in the Bahamas.
Local speed limits are often about 45kph through built-up areas and around 70kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in the Bahamas is 0.08%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.
The Bahamian dollar (BSD) is the currency you'll be using for general expenses and outings. Pay with a card when it's possible, but carry a little cash when electronic payments aren't an option.
