Car rental in Georgetown, Guyana works through two hubs: offices in the capital itself, and the arrivals hall at Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO), about 40 kilometres south at Timehri. At the airport, local agent Massy Motors has represented National, Enterprise and Alamo from the greeters hall, while Hertz, Europcar and Fox also list GEO service; in town, local operators add competitive rates quoted in Guyanese dollars. Guyana drives on the left, and the practical split is simple: for Georgetown and the coastal strip a standard car is fine, while the interior - Linden southward, Lethem, the rainforest roads - is 4x4 territory with real trip planning. Book ahead: fleets are modest, and oil-boom business travel has tightened availability in the capital.
