Trinidad and Tobago is a former British colony, so driving is on the left side of the road. Anyone with a US, UK, or Canadian passport does not require a visa to travel here. Roads are usually well paved although traffic signs may be old and difficult to make out.  Your Trinidad And Tobago rent a car should be identified by the letter "R" as the first letter on the license plate (renting cars with "P" private plates is illegal although many car rental companies are outfitting rental vehicles in this way to deter criminals from targeting tourists). Native drivers are very aggressive and pedestrians, are notorious for jaywalking in populated areas. Many local drivers do not have insurance so check with your car rental agency to be sure you have sufficient insurance in case of an accident, and drive defensively!
