Driving in Turks and Caicos

A practical visitor guide to driving safely and confidently in Providenciales and across the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Driving Rule 01

Drive on the Left

Vehicles travel on the left side of the road in Turks and Caicos.

Many vehicles are left hand drive because they are imported from the United States. Take extra care when turning, overtaking and entering roundabouts.

Driving Rule 02

Using Roundabouts

Roundabouts are common throughout Providenciales.

• Slow down before entering.
• Give way to traffic approaching from the right.
• Wait for a safe opening before entering.
• Stay in the correct lane.
• Signal clearly when preparing to exit.

Driving Rule 03

Speed Limits

Typical speed limits are:

• 20 mph through towns and settlements.
• 40 mph on highways and designated open roads.

Reduce your speed when conditions require it and always follow the posted limit.

Driving Rule 04

Roads and Navigation

Most main roads in Providenciales are paved. Some secondary, rural and beach access roads may be uneven or unpaved.

• Use a navigation app or download an offline map.
• Allow extra time when travelling to an unfamiliar area.
• Slow down on uneven or unpaved roads.
• Take additional care after dark where road lighting is limited.

Driving Rule 05

Drive Safely

• Wear your seat belt and ensure passengers are secured.
• Watch carefully for pedestrians, cyclists and other road users.
• Leave enough distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
• Do not drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs.
• Contact the rental team promptly if the vehicle is damaged or involved in an incident.

Trip Planning

Fuel and Longer Journeys

Fuel stations are available in Providenciales, but options may be more limited outside the main developed areas.

Check the fuel level before travelling to a remote location and confirm the rental vehicle's return fuel requirement.

Before Collecting Your Vehicle

A valid driver's licence is required. Licence, visitor permit and international driving permit requirements may depend on the country that issued your licence and the length of your stay.

Contact Quality Car Rental before arrival to confirm the applicable driver age, identification, payment, deposit, insurance and additional driver requirements.

Carry your driver's licence and rental agreement while using the vehicle.
