Driving in Grenada

Keep left and allow for blind corners

Traffic keeps left. Grenada's rural corridors combine potholes and speed bumps with tight blind bends and weak night lighting, so a short mapped distance can still require substantial extra time.

Follow signs, temporary controls and police directions. If a collision occurs, call the police and do not move the vehicle unless authorities direct otherwise; current road condition and responsibility are determined at the scene.

Separate Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique

NaDMA coordinates disaster arrangements across Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, but the three islands are separated by water. They are not one drive and transport or rebuilding disruption can differ by island.

On Grenada, Carriacou or Petite Martinique, drive only as far as the relevant airport or port. Confirm the operator's current service, weather limits and vehicle policy, then arrange a vehicle for the destination island instead of treating the sea leg as a road connection.

Separate the temporary licence from rental cover

The temporary Grenadian licence answers whether the visitor may drive. The hire agreement separately identifies authorised drivers and controls insurance, excess, usable surfaces, islands and recovery. Confirm both before collection; neither permission follows from the presence of a mapped road.

Protect island transfers from road geometry

For Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, finish the island drive at the relevant check-in and arrange sea or air transport independently. Confirm whether a vehicle may travel and obtain an authorised destination-side vehicle rather than stretching a line across water.

Use NaDMA advice for the correct island

Check NaDMA information before heavy rain or tropical weather and identify whether the notice concerns Grenada, Carriacou or Petite Martinique. Never enter floodwater or pass a barrier; give emergency services the island, road, direction and nearest landmark.
