Driving is on the right-hand side of the road. You will be driving about 50 km/h in cities, and up to 110 km/h on highways. On Basse-Terre, the mountainous terrain and roads can be dangerous, so take care and avoid nighttime driving. Also avoid parking under palm trees where falling coconuts can damage your vehicle.
Select the flexibility option when booking and cancel or change your reservation free of charge if your plans change.
