Saint Martin Island follows the United Kingdom convention of driving on the left side of the road. If you come from a country where driving is on the right, this may take some getting used to. Exercise extra caution, especially at intersections and roundabouts. The driving culture on the island can be a bit more relaxed than in some other countries. Drivers might occasionally be more assertive, and traffic rules might not always be strictly followed. Stay attentive and patient and drive defensively.

You must be of a minimum age to rent a car, usually 21 or 25 years old, depending on the rental company. Some companies may have a young driver surcharge for renters under a certain age. In addition, you will need a valid driver's license from your home country. Most rental car companies accept International Driving Permits (IDPs), but it's best to confirm this beforehand. Lastly, a major credit card in the driver's name is required for the rental deposit and payment. Some companies may accept debit cards, but credit cards are generally more widely accepted.
