On Guam, driving lets you circle the island in a day, linking Tumon Bay, Hagatna and the wild southern coast at your own pace. Pull over at Talofofo Falls, Inarajan Pools and cliffside lookouts without relying on infrequent public transport.
With a hire car you can catch sunrise at Two Lovers Point and still reach remote snorkelling spots and jungle trails later. It is easy to combine shopping, historic sites and hidden beaches in one trip, adjusting plans to the sun and tide.

Booking at least 2–4 weeks ahead is recommended for Guam, especially for travel in December–March, Golden Week, and major Japanese and Korean holidays when the island gets very busy. For peak dates and popular vehicle types (SUVs, minivans, convertibles), try to reserve 6–8 weeks in advance to secure availability and better prices.
In Guam, the deposit is usually a temporary card hold. After you return the car in good condition, most suppliers release it within 3–7 working days, but it can take your bank up to 10–15 days to show the funds as fully available. Some local agencies or special deals may offer reduced or no-deposit options.
The excess (deductible) is the maximum you must pay if the car is damaged or stolen, before the insurer covers the rest. In Guam it is commonly around US$500–US$2,000, depending on car type and supplier. You can often buy extra cover or a collision damage waiver to reduce or eliminate this excess and limit your financial risk.
Most rental companies in Guam prefer a major credit card for the deposit, but some accept debit cards with restrictions such as proof of return travel and a higher hold. Through certain offers you may find no-deposit, no-credit-card deals, where payment is taken in advance and the security hold is lower or waived, usually on smaller car classes.
Prices vary by season and car type, but a typical compact or economy car in Guam usually costs about US$45–US$70 per day. In high season or for SUVs, minivans and convertibles, rates can rise to US$80–US$130 per day. Booking early and comparing several suppliers helps you find lower prices and better inclusions.
Bookingcar lets you quickly compare car-rental prices in Guam from many international and local providers in one search. You see different offers, inclusions, and payment options side by side, helping you find the most suitable deal. By using Bookingcar’s price-comparison service, you can easily choose a competitively priced rental that fits your plans.
If you return the car late in Guam, most companies charge extra, often at the hourly rate up to a full extra day once you exceed the grace period (typically 29–59 minutes). Extended delays can be treated as an additional rental day or more, and may invalidate some insurance. Always call the rental office if you expect to be late.
Built-up and residential areas: generally 15–25 mph (about 25–40 km/h)
Urban main roads: usually 35 mph (about 55 km/h)
Rural roads and parts of Marine Corps Drive (Route 1): typically 35–45 mph (about 55–72 km/h)
School zones when children are present: often 15 mph (about 25 km/h)
Always follow posted signs, as limits can vary by section.
Traffic fines in Guam are payable in US dollars and can be substantial. Minor speeding or parking offences may cost from about US$25–US$150, while higher-speed violations, reckless driving, or driving without insurance can result in heavier fines, possible court appearances, licence issues, and higher insurance costs. Rental firms may also add administrative fees for processing tickets.
Guam follows US-style drink-driving rules. For most drivers aged 21 and over, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08%. For commercial drivers and some restricted categories, lower limits apply. Penalties for DUI can include large fines, licence suspension, possible jail time, and the rental company may terminate your agreement and refuse insurance coverage.
Fuel prices in Guam change with the global market, but petrol is typically around US$4.50–US$5.50 per US gallon (roughly US$1.19–US$1.45 per litre). Credit cards are widely accepted at filling stations, though some smaller stations may require you to pay inside in advance. Always check whether your rental includes a full-to-full or prepaid fuel policy.
Guam does not have toll roads, vignettes, or congestion charges. All public roads, including Marine Corps Drive and other main routes, are free to use. You do not need to buy a toll pass or sticker for your rental car, so you can drive around the island without worrying about extra road-use fees or toll invoices from the rental company.
