French Guiana Car Rental Guide

Essential Tips for American Travelers Renting Cars in Cayenne

Can I use my US driver's license in French Guiana, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
Yes, you need an International Driving Permit (IDP). French Guiana is an overseas department of France, and rental companies legally require foreign visitors to carry an IDP alongside their valid US license. Get your IDP from AAA or AATA before departure—it costs around $20 and takes minutes. Without it, you may be refused at the counter and could face fines if stopped by police. Your US license alone is not sufficient.
What's the minimum age to rent a car, and will I pay extra fees?
The minimum age is 21, but drivers under 25 typically pay a "young driver surcharge" of €20-35 per day. Most rental agencies in Cayenne also restrict certain vehicle categories (SUVs, premium cars) to drivers 25+. If you're 21-24, expect limited car options and budget an extra €140-245 per week just for young driver fees. Drivers over 70 may also face additional requirements or surcharges.
Are the roads in French Guiana suitable for regular cars, or do I need a 4WD?
It depends on your itinerary. Cayenne city and main highways (RN1, RN2) are paved and fine for compact cars. However, if you plan to explore inland areas, visit nature reserves, or travel during the rainy season (December–June), strongly consider a 4WD or SUV. Many secondary roads are unpaved, and flash floods are common. Renting a 4WD adds €15-30/day but provides essential peace of mind and access to remote attractions like the Tresor Reserve.
Is it possible to drive from French Guiana into Suriname or Brazil with a rental car?
Generally, no. Most rental companies in French Guiana prohibit cross-border travel due to insurance and security concerns. The bridge to Suriname (at Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni) and Brazil (at Oiapoque) exists, but you must obtain explicit written permission from your rental agency—which is rarely granted. Even if approved, expect hefty fees (€50-100+) and mandatory additional insurance. For cross-border trips, return your car in Cayenne and use buses or organized tours instead.
How scarce are gas stations, and should I worry about running out of fuel?
Gas stations are concentrated in Cayenne and along the main coastal highway (RN1). Once you head inland, stations become very sparse—sometimes 60+ miles apart. Always refill when your tank hits half, especially before exploring remote areas. Most stations accept credit cards (Visa/Mastercard), but carry €50-100 cash as backup. Rental cars use standard unleaded gasoline (SP95/SP98). Plan your fuel stops strategically, and don't assume every small town has a station—it often doesn't.
