Getting a Driver's License in Barbados

Summary: Here's a primer on how to get your driver's license in Barbados.

Sometimes when you're new to a country a task like getting your driver's license can make you feel like you're 16 years old again trying to pass your driver's test. Here's an overview of the process of getting your driver's license in Barbados.

In Barbados, foreigners who wish to drive must obtain a visitor's permit. This permit can be obtained from car rental agencies or the local licensing authority. The applicant must present a valid driver's license from their home country. The visitor's permit is valid for one year. It's important to note that in Barbados, driving is on the left-hand side of the road.

There are no different requirements based on the city, state, or region in Barbados. The rules and regulations for driving are country-wide and apply to all areas of Barbados. However, drivers should be aware that road conditions and traffic rules may vary, and they should always exercise caution and follow local traffic laws.
