Renting a Car in Port? Here's What Cruise Passengers Need to Know

For many cruise passengers, renting a car, Jeep, golf cart, scooter, or even a Vespa is one of the best ways to explore a port on their own. It offers freedom, flexibility, and the chance to discover places that organized shore excursions don't always visit.

But before you grab the keys and head off, it's worth remembering one important fact: transportation accidents are the leading cause of non-natural deaths among Americans traveling overseas.

Every destination has its own traffic laws, road conditions, and driving customs. In some countries, people drive on the left side of the road. Road signs may be in another language, speed limits may use kilometers instead of miles, and local drivers may have very different driving habits than you're used to.

Missed the Cruise Ship? Here's How to Avoid Being Left Behind

It's every cruiser's worst nightmare.

You look up from shopping, relaxing on the beach, or enjoying a local tour and realize it's later than you thought. As you race back to the pier, you see your cruise ship slowly pulling away from the dock.

Unfortunately, it happens more often than you might think.

Every year, cruise passengers are left behind after missing the ship's all-aboard time. While some stories make international headlines, most never do. In nearly every case, the responsibility falls on the passenger to return to the ship before the published all-aboard time.
