For traveling around in St Vincent, it is preferable to rent a car. The required local license can be procured on presentation of your home license costs around EC$40 and can be purchased at the airport, the police station in Bay Street, or the Licensing Authority on Halifax Street. However, there is no need to pay if you have an International Driving Permit. You can get it stamped at the central police station.Driving is on the left. There are limited road signs on St Vincent. However, the use of cars on the island is limited and only jeeps may be used to go right up Soufrière or beyond Georgetown on the east coast.
