Car rental in Freeport

In Freeport, as with the rest of The Bahamas, driving is on the left-hand side which should be customary for people from the UK. However, many imported cars are left-hand drives, which can be a bit unusual but manageable. Another key thing to remember is that speed limits are posted in miles per hour (mph), not kilometers.

Car Rental and Parking

There are several car rental services readily available that offer a range of car classes to suit your travel needs. Freeport has efficient parking regulations with plenty of parking spaces in shopping malls, hotels, and most tourist spots.
