Book a car rental at Piarco Airport (POS)
Booking a rental car at Piarco International Airport is one of the best decisions you can make to ease your journey in Trinidad and Tobago. This is also because popular international rideshare services do not operate in Trinidad.
While there are public buses and shared minibuses available, you cannot get the ease and the freedom to travel as per your itinerary. Moreover, public transportation has a fixed schedule that you need to follow.
By going for a car rental option, you can comfortably visit destinations like Caroni Bird Sanctuary (15 to 20 minutes west of the airport) or the Port of Spain (14 miles/22.5 km from Piarco Airport) whenever you want.
With us, you can compare deals for 24 hours, weekend, weekly, monthy/long term from top car rental companies in Piarco at competitive prices. You can choose a vehicle from different categories that best suit your travel plans in Trinidad.
Car rental desks at Piarco Airport (POS)
All the major car rental suppliers like Alamo, Enterprise, National, Sixt, Keddy by Europcar and Ace Rent a Car have their counters inside the main terminal building next to the arrivals exit of POS Airport.
After collecting your luggage and clearing the customs hall, turn left towards the public terminal area and follow the signboards of your selected supplier. Once all the paperwork is done, a staff member will guide you towards the POS Airport's parking area.
Car rental return at Piarco Airport (POS)
There is a dedicated car rental parking area at Piarco Airport, which is approx. 90 meters west of the terminal building. There are clear signboards throughout the road that lead to the terminal. Follow the directions to reach the area and park your vehicle in your supplier’s marked bay.
After taking out your belongings, you can lock the car and walk towards the terminal (just a few steps away). Hand over the keys and finalise any required paperwork to end your rental agreement.
If you have booked your vehicle from an off-site supplier like Avis or Hertz, you need to return your car at their respective areas (usually the offices are located just outside the airport terminal perimeter). Such suppliers provide a complimentary shuttle service back to the POS terminal.

VIP Cars' tips for renting a car at Piarco Airport (POS)
Car rentals are in high demand at Piarco Airport between February and the first week of March, so we recommend booking your vehicle at least 4 to 8 weeks in advance during this period.
Speed limits in Piarco are posted in kilometers per hour (km/h) and your vehicle is equipped with km/h speedometers. It is important to stick with 30-50 km/h while you are driving within the POS Airport premises.
We recommend opting for an SUV if you want to explore more of the mountain areas or remote coastlines like Paramin Village & La Vigie Lookout and Devil's Woodyard & Piparo Mud Volcanoes that are beyond well-paved highways. You need a vehicle with a powerful engine to drive on such different terrains.
You can use the "low security deposit" filter to find rental cars with low deposit at Piarco Airport while searching for online deals on our platform; this will help narrow down your options.
Confirm after-hours car rental pick up/drop off availability directly with your supplier if your flight lands or departs in the early morning (before 6:00 AM) or at midnight.

An economy car is best only if your driving is limited mainly to highways. For example, your route is to the east-west corridor (Churchill-Roosevelt Highway), traveling south to San Fernando via the Sir Solomon Hochoy Highway or visiting nearby commercial hubs like Trincity.
These primary highways and urban routes are fully paved, flat and well-maintained. A small car easily handles daily traffic flow or compact parking areas.
