Driving in Grenada

In Grenada, driving is done on the left-hand side of the road. In the area around the campus the roads are in excellent condition; however, driving outside of this area can be an adventure. Give a friendly honk on the horn when passing vehicles or approaching tight curves and sharp turns. Keep to the side, but watch for pedestrians and animals walking in the road. Also, cars often stop directly on the road so be alert when rounding bends.

If you plan to drive in Grenada, you must obtain a Grenadian driver's license. These are issued by the Inland Revenue Department on the Carenage in St. George’s or at the police station in Grand Anse. You must present a valid US or UK driver's license. A parking sticker, which can be obtained from the administration offices, is required on campus. Proof of insurance is required for a sticker, so obtain the insurance information from the rental agency.

The cost for a local temporary driver's license in Grenada is EC$30.00 (valid for 90 days).    Information on annual licensing for private vehicles can be obtained from the Inland Revenue Department.  To obtain an annual license you must present two passport-size photos; a valid foreign license; two temporary licenses to prove experience driving in Grenada ; EC$1.50 stamp; and, if over age 50, certification that you are medically fit to drive.
