About Renting a Car at Tobago Airport

Tobago ANR Robinson International Airport (TAB) is located at Crown Point, 3 km from Pigeon Point Beach and 18 km from Scarborough. With 7 rental companies on-site, it's easy to pick up a car right after landing and start exploring the island immediately. The airport borders Store Bay Beach, just 1 km away, and Buccoo Reef lies 5 km north along the coast.

To Scarborough, you drive east on Milford Road, a journey of approximately 20 minutes in normal traffic. Pick up your rental car early in the morning – queues at the desk can get long when multiple flights land simultaneously. Always fill up at Crown Point before driving north to Charlotteville, as gas stations are scarcer in the north.

Yield rules apply – always give way to vehicles on main roads. How many car rental companies are at Tobago airport? There are 7 rental companies at TAB, including international chains and local operators.
