Updated Travel Essentials
Guam & Northern Mariana Islands Car Rental Guide
Renting a car is one of the most convenient ways to explore Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands because attractions are spread out, public transit is limited, and rideshare/taxi costs can add up quickly. A rental gives you control over beach-hopping, sightseeing, and dining—especially in Guam’s Tumon area, central Hagåtña, and Saipan’s Garapan corridor. Expect right-hand traffic (U.S.-style), generally short drive times, and easy day-trip planning. Watch for peak demand during holidays and weekend travel, and confirm what’s included in your rate (insurance, young driver fees, additional driver fees, and fuel policy) to avoid surprises.

Guam International Airport (GUM) – Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport
Most Guam travelers pick up at GUM for maximum convenience. Rental counters are typically in/near the arrivals area, with vehicles in adjacent lots or a short walk/shuttle depending on provider. Pros: widest selection and longest hours. Cons: airport surcharges and faster sell-outs in peak season.
Tumon (Guam) – Hotel Zone Pickup
Pros: close to major resorts, easy walk/short ride from hotels, convenient for travelers who arrive and rest before driving. Cons: smaller fleets than the airport, limited after-hours service, and you may still pay delivery/collection fees depending on provider.
Hagåtña (Guam) – Government & Business District
Pros: practical for local errands and business travel, sometimes less congestion than Tumon. Cons: fewer rental desks and shorter operating hours; pickup logistics may require pre-arranged meeting times.

What do you need to rent a car in Guam?

Renting a car in Guam is quite convenient, but there can be some specific requirements, especially for foreign renters.

  • Form of ID: A valid physical Northern Mariana Islands national photo ID is required.
  • Driving licence: The main and any additional drivers must present a full physical local driving licence with no major endorsements. In most cases, the licence must have been held for at least 1 year; for some vehicle groups it may need to be held for up to 5 years. For certain rentals, the minimum required holding period (between 1–2 years or as specified) is defined in the full rental terms and may vary by car category.

    Notes: For some car types, a minimum licence holding period of 1–2 years is required; for others, at least 5 years. Where not explicitly stated, please refer to the Full Rental Terms & Conditions – driving licence section or contact customer service for the exact minimum holding time applicable to your vehicle category.

  • Accepted cards: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are generally required. Accepted credit cards commonly include Visa, MasterCard, JCB, Diners Club, AMEX and, for some offers, UnionPay. Some locations also accept debit cards (usually Visa or MasterCard) for payment and/or deposit; others only allow credit cards. Card embossing may be required for certain deals. E‑vouchers or printed vouchers may be required for some rentals. Availability of specific card brands (including UnionPay) and whether debit cards are accepted can vary by offer; check your specific deal details.
  • Age requirements: Standard eligible driving ages across offers range from a minimum of 18–22 years up to a maximum of 75–99 years, depending on the specific rental. Typical common ranges include 21–80 or 21–99. Where a young driver fee applies, an example policy is: drivers aged 18–21 may rent but must pay a young driver surcharge of about $6.00 per day (plus applicable tax). Some offers also indicate that young drivers (e.g., 21–24) or senior drivers (e.g., 75–80) are permitted, but any applicable surcharges or conditions are stated as “to be confirmed” and should be checked in the specific rental terms.
  • Driving licence: The main and any additional drivers must present a full physical driving licence with no major endorsements. In most cases, the licence must have been held for at least 1 year; for some vehicle groups it may need to be held for up to 5 years. For certain rentals, the minimum required holding period (between 1–2 years or as specified) is defined in the full rental terms and may vary by car category. Accepted driving licence include:
    • Original driving licence + International Driving Permit (IDP) (the IDP is only a translation; you must also present your original licence; photocopies or scans are not accepted) or
    • Original South Korea Driving License (English version) with an English translation provided on the back.

    Notes: Where the exact minimum licence holding period is not clearly stated, please refer to the Full Rental Terms & Conditions – driving licence section or contact customer service for the precise requirement applicable to your vehicle category.

  • Form of ID: A valid passport is required.
  • Accepted cards: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are generally required. Commonly accepted credit cards include Visa, MasterCard, JCB, Diners Club, AMEX and, for some rentals, UnionPay. Some offers also accept Visa or MasterCard debit cards for payment and/or deposit, while others accept only credit cards. Card embossing may be required for certain deals. E‑vouchers or printed vouchers may be required for some rentals. Availability of specific card schemes (including UnionPay) and debit-card acceptance may vary by offer; check your booking details.
  • Age requirements: Standard eligible driving ages across offers range from a minimum of 18–22 years up to a maximum of 75–99 years, depending on the specific rental. Typical common ranges include 21–80 or 21–99. Where a young driver fee applies, an example policy is: drivers aged 18–21 may rent but must pay a young driver surcharge of about $6.00 per day (plus applicable tax). Some offers also indicate that young drivers (e.g., 21–24) or senior drivers (e.g., 75–80) are permitted, but any applicable surcharges or conditions are stated as “to be confirmed” and should be checked in the specific rental terms.

Guam Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and rental FAQs for your Guam self-drive adventure

Can I drive in Guam with my U.S. driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
U.S. license holders can drive directly in Guam—no IDP needed. International visitors should carry both their home-country license AND an IDP (available from AAA in the U.S. for $20). Most rental agencies accept foreign licenses with IDP. Minimum age is 21, but drivers under 25 pay a "young driver surcharge" of roughly $25–$35/day at major agencies like Hertz and Budget.
What side of the road does Guam drive on, and are there any tricky traffic rules?
Guam drives on the RIGHT side, just like the U.S. mainland—left-hand drive vehicles. Speed limits are 25 mph in towns, 35–45 mph on major roads, and 55 mph on Route 1 (the main island highway). Unlike some U.S. territories, there are NO toll roads. Right turns on red are permitted unless posted otherwise. Seat belts are mandatory for all occupants—no exceptions.
What's the weather like for driving, and should I worry about typhoons?
Guam has a tropical climate year-round (75–85°F). The wet season runs June–December, when sudden heavy rainstorms can reduce visibility—pull over if needed. Typhoons are a real concern during this period; monitor NOAA weather alerts and follow evacuation orders immediately. Hurricane season officially peaks August–October. Rainy season doesn't require winter tires, but ensure your rental has functioning wipers and AC.
How expensive is gas in Guam, and what fuel type do rental cars use?
Gasoline in Guam runs about $4.50–$5.50 per gallon (prices fluctuate with global markets). All rental cars use regular unleaded—NO diesel or premium fuel needed. Most gas stations are self-service along Route 1 and in Tumon. Fill-up before heading to southern Guam's more rural areas. Rental companies deliver cars with a full tank; return it full to avoid refueling charges at $6–$8/gallon markup.
Is it safe to drive at night in Guam, and what about wildlife on roads?
Night driving in Guam is generally safe on main roads, but some rural roads in the south lack adequate lighting. Use high beams cautiously to avoid blinding oncoming traffic on two-lane roads. Watch for free-roaming dogs (particularly in village areas) and the occasional feral deer in more remote zones. Speed limits drop at night in some residential areas—enforce yourself, even if local drivers don't.
Where can I park for free in Tumon, and what are the parking rules?
Tumon Bay has both free and metered street parking plus paid lots ($2–$5/hour at major lots near hotels). Meters accept coins and some credit cards—checkpaybyphone apps aren't widely used. Avoid parking in spaces marked "Reserved" or near fire hydrants (towing fines run $100+). Hotel guests typically get free parking; ask your accommodation before assumptions. Beach access points often have informal gravel lots—park at your own risk.
