Road
A good taxi service exists on the island. Rates are government controlled. There are numerous car hire firms located at hotels, the airport and Kralendijk. Reservations should be made in advance to get the best rates. Pick-ups and mini-vans are available for shore divers. Car hire tax is US$4 per day, plus 5 per cent on the rental fee. Bikes and motorbikes can also be hired without any difficulty. Traffic drives on the right. Roads are reasonably good, although jeeps may be needed for extensive touring of the island. Documentation: A national driving licence is acceptable if held for at least two years, although drivers must be at least 21 years of age (minimum age varies according to hire company and type of car). Drivers under a certain age may also be restricted as to what type of car they may hire, and most cars are manual/standard transmission.
