Tips for renting a car in French Guiana

Check that your driver's license is valid in French Guiana. Some countries also ask for an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is only valid together with your national license.
Review what the rental includes: collision damage waiver, third-party liability and the deductible. Most companies also hold a deposit on a credit card in the driver's name.
Learn the local rules before you drive: speed limits, right of way, alcohol limits and tolls.
Check which side of the road traffic drives on and where the steering wheel is.
At pickup, photograph the car (inside and out) and the fuel level, and keep the photos until the deposit is returned.
Know what to do in an accident: who to call, what to document and how to report it to the rental company.
