Getting Around by Road
Bus: Minibus services connect rural areas with the capital. There is a good service from Castries to Gros Islet in the north of the island with buses departing every 30 minutes during the day. Many services also operate on weekends and holidays.
Taxi: Hiring a taxi is easy and cheap. Standard trips usually have fixed rates, however, these should always be agreed upon before you get in as tourists are vulnerable to being overcharged. When hiring a taxi at night always choose a reputable company. Tipping is unnecessary.
Car hire: Cars can be obtained either in Castries, Soufrière and Vieux Fort, or through hotels. Hotels and local tour operators run coach trips for groups.
Regulations: Seat belts must be worn at all times.
Documentation: On presentation of a national driving licence or International Driving Permit, a local licence will be issued by the police or car hire firm for a fee.
