Please consider using TTOL sponsor A.C.'s Taxi Service. Find them on the TTOL sponsors page.

We were planning to rent a car for our first 3 days on Tortola before our charter... to explore the island ourselves. I'm ok with the driving... is this a bad idea? Should i just use a taxi service? we are staying at the Sugar Mill and want to explore Tortola by land first. looking forward to seeing the feedback. thanks you!

Definitely rent a car. 1 roundtrip from town to Sugar Mill is equal to a days rental. Biggest road hazards are scooters and the [censored] moving safari bus. Oh yeah, watch out for the orange T'ing too. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

We have rented a car several times on Tortolla and planning to do it again in March. watch the hair pin turns and it is no problem ( for Ward I mean ) I would be scared out of my mind trying to drive but he has no problem. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
Enjoy

It also depends on if you're staying on island, or just want transport at the beginning and end of your trip. Wayne I guess wanted just transport at the beginning and end, which it would be easier to just do a cab..

AC is awesome. I've used him a few times.
Rental cars are the most economical way to go if you're exploring the island. As Kim said, the roads are a little curvy and you must remember to drive on the left side of the road. I don't find either to be a problem but it makes some people quite nervous. Donna is always happy to let me do the driving. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
