Most main roads are in good condition but they are narrow and winding. Traffic drives on the left.
Bus: These are cheap but slow. The main bus terminal is located at the west end of Granby Street. Buses run on Grenada to Annadale,
Concorde, Grand Anse, Grand Etang, Grenville, Gouyave, La Sagesse, Sauters, Victoria and Westernhall. On Carriacou, buses
run from Hillsborough to Harvey Vale and Windward. Minibuses run between Hillsborough, Windward and Tyrell Bay.
Taxi: Taxis are the most efficient means of transport. They are available from the airport, the Carenage and most hotels. Mandoo’s Taxi Service is a fully insured sightseeing and taxi service, recommended by the Board of Tourism (website: www.grenadatours.com).
Car hire: A large range of vehicles are available in St George’s, Grand Anse or St Andrew’s. Credit cards are not always accepted by
car hire companies. To hire a vehicle, drivers must be over the age of 25. Some car hire firms have a minimum rental period
of three days during peak periods.
Documentation: A temporary licence is available for a fee from the traffic department at the central police station on Carenage or from
most car hire companies, on presentation of a valid driving licence. An International Driving Permit is recommended, although
it is not legally required.
