Port Of Spain car rental — FAQ
Booking 2–4 weeks before your trip to Port Of Spain usually gives you the best mix of price and vehicle choice. In peak times like Carnival, Christmas and long weekends, cars can sell out, so try to reserve 6–8 weeks ahead. For off-peak weekdays, last-minute deals may still be available, but options might be limited.
Most Port Of Spain rental companies release the security deposit within 7–14 business days after you return the car, provided there is no new damage or extra charges. Your bank may take a bit longer to show the funds as available. Choosing no-deposit / no-credit-card deals can help you avoid a large hold on your card altogether.
The excess (deductible) is the maximum amount you must pay if the rental car is damaged or stolen. In Trinidad and Tobago it often ranges from about TTD 3,000 to TTD 10,000, depending on car class and supplier. The rental insurer covers costs above that limit. You can usually reduce or sometimes eliminate the excess by purchasing extra protection at booking or at the desk.
Most rental desks in Port Of Spain require a major credit card in the main driver’s name for the security deposit. Some local suppliers may accept debit cards with strict conditions, such as proof of return ticket and additional ID. To avoid a card hold, look specifically for no-deposit / no-credit-card deals when you search on our site.
In Port Of Spain, economy and compact cars typically start around TTD 260–350 per day, with mid-size and SUVs from roughly TTD 400–650 daily, depending on season, availability and extras like GPS or child seats. Carnival and major events can push prices significantly higher, so booking early helps lock in better rates.
At Port Of Spain - Piarco Intl. Airport (POS), you will find on-site rental counters from Hertz and Avis, making it convenient to pick up your vehicle shortly after landing and start your journey without needing a separate transfer into the city.

You get clear rental conditions, 24/7 support, and options from both well-known international brands and reliable local companies, often with flexible fuel and mileage policies tailored to your trip.
If you bring the car back late in Port Of Spain, most renters charge for extra hours or an additional rental day once a grace period is exceeded. This can quickly increase your total cost and may affect insurance cover. Always contact the rental company as soon as you know you will be delayed to discuss options and minimize fees.
Central parking options in Port Of Spain include the Parkade on Edward Street, the public multi-storey car park on Richmond Street, and paid lots near Independence Square and Wrightson Road.

Port Of Spain is on Trinidad, an island without land borders, so you generally cannot drive rental cars to other countries.
