As far as freedom of movement and exploration a car can be invaluable. Though small the island's tightly turning mountain roads make for relatively long journey and a hair raising experience. Driving is on the left hand side of the road and there are various car rental agencies at both airports. Road Runner Car Rental [3] is an excellent choice, offering a variety of 4x4 vehicles at bargain rates.

Honk horn on hairpin turns especially during the day.
Beware of large trucks as their width forces other drivers off the road.
Watch for large pot holes and crumbling asphalt as roads can be in very poor condition.
Ask directions if lost, the locals are very friendly and informative.
When in mountains in torrential rains, consider stopping for a bit or at least going very slowly.
A compact is sufficient for most situations but a small 4x4 might also be nice. A large 4x4 would be cumbersome on the small streets.
