By Car
Driving is on the left on narrow, badly paved roads. You'll be hard-pressed to exceed the 20mph speed limit as certain spots have no guardrails whatsoever, even on deadly mountain switchbacks, and many have deep rain gutters alongside. Other routes are nothing more than mud-covered rock (be aware that local car insurance does not cover damage to tyres). None of the roads are lit at night, making it unwise for first-time visitors to cruise around after dark. If you intend to do a lot of island driving, renting a four-wheel-drive vehicle is your best option, even though they cost more (from US$55/day). Aside from a Budget rental office near Canefield Airport), and a courtesy phone inside the terminal that rings to Valley Car Rentals), Dominica's car rental agencies are based in Roseau); they'll meet you at the airport if you've made advance reservations. To drive on the island, you'll need to buy a one-month local driver's licence (US$10) from airport immigration.
