Hiring a car in Guam is a great place to see the country, however always ensure that you are aware of local driving rules to ensure a safe, car-free trip. If you are taking your own car into Guam it will need to pass a safety inspection before it is allowed to travel on the roads. You can obtain a 24 hour licence to transfer your car from the dock to the safety inspection point where your car will be checked to ensure that it is roadworthy. If you are hiring a car this will all be taken care of for you. The maximum speed limit in Guam is set at 45 mph in built up areas and towns. Speed limits do vary in other places and tend to be higher on the main highways and motorways. You should always check the signposts to ensure that you are aware of local limits. Driving is on the right hand side of the road and you should be careful of local drivers who may drive faster than is comfortable for someone who is not familiar with the roads. If you find someone ‘tailgating’ you should allow them to pass if it is safe to avoid accidents. Be on the look out for pedestrians than may cross the road at any given time, particularly in rural areas where roads may not be clearly marked. You should also be aware that in some areas the roads may be poorly maintained, so caution is advised. There are government busses for school children that may often be on the road. If they are about to load or unload students, give way to these busses at all times. Summary: - Seatbelts should always be worn
- Children should sit in the back
- Road quality may change from place to place
- For safety reasons, you should never drink and drive
