Car rental at Piarco International Airport (POS) is compact and predictable: the rental counters sit right at the exit of the Customs Hall, with Europcar, Sixt and Alamo inside the terminal a short walk from baggage claim and Avis, National and Budget among those serving arrivals from desks just outside, alongside Trinidadian operators. Most desks align with the flight schedule and several run long hours - confirm your provider's exact window if you land late. Trinidad drives on the left, and the drive from Piarco into Port of Spain runs about 25 to 40 minutes on the highway depending on traffic, which peaks hard on weekday mornings. Book ahead for Carnival season and long weekends, when the island's fleets genuinely sell out.
