Can You Drive in The Bahamas if You’re Under 25?

Quick answer: Yes—if you’re 17+ with a valid license, you can legally drive in The Bahamas. But renting a car under 25 often comes with extra rules and fees. Here’s the simple guide travelers ask for most.

What’s the legal driving age in The Bahamas?

The legal driving age is 17 years old. Visitors can drive with a valid driver’s license from their home country.

Can you rent a car if you’re under 25?

  • Typical minimum age: usually 21+ to rent (varies by company).
  • Young driver fee: common for ages 21–24.
  • License history: many agencies require at least 1 year licensed.
  • Insurance: extra coverage may be mandatory for under-25 drivers.

Tip: Always confirm the agency’s policy and fees before you book—charges can add up quickly.
