Road quality:

There is a good network, although due to steep and narrow mountain roads, plus poor driving standards, conditions may be precarious.

Car hire:

There are many local and international companies. Drivers need to be at least 25 years old.

Taxi:

There are several taxi companies on Tortola and Virgin Gorda. Many drivers double up as tour guides, and you can hire taxis on an hourly or daily basis.

Regulations:

The speed limit is 64kph (40mph). Seat belts are compulsory.

Documentation:

You can drive on a valid national licence for up to 30 days.

By water:

Yacht charter is one of the major industries, and you can hire bareboats for cruises. A permit is required for all charter boat passengers. The high season is from December to April.

Ferries: The main routes are from Tortola to Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, Marina Cay and Peter Island. A list of operators is available from the British Virgin Islands Tourist Board (www.bvitourism.com/inter-island-ferries).
