Ensure that you use a Company that gives you full insurance cover. Most do, but read on to see why this is important.

The roads are very, very  poor with large holes and very bumpy surfaces with the exception of the main roads.

The standard of many drivers is extremely poor, they tend to use both sides of the road trying to miss holes in the road.

If a driver uses his indicators all you can be sure is that there is a bulb in it. (take no chances)

The island is very small so car hire in some ways is a waste of money.

The bus service is cheap and regular, even if the buses are very old. It is a better way to get around than car hire.

The web master had a car for only two days before he was hit in the rear by a driver who thought he was going to pull out in front of another car. The hire company had the car repaired with no blame on them or the web master "John4." The cracker who rammed me had to pay via his insurance.
