At the airport there are many car rental agencies: this is another option for getting from the airport into the city. The ten or so car rental agencies also include scooter rentals. The other choice is to make use of the services of a taxi. There are taxis that wait outside of the baggage claim area of the arrivals section of the airport.

If you rent a car at the airport you will probably be using it to get around Providenciales and the surrounding areas. There are also car rental agencies in the city as well. Remember that, as a British overseas territory, cars drive on the left on all of the islands. Using a car is a good way to get around, but keep in mind that some hotels have limited parking and there can sometimes be traffic congestion in Providenciales.
