In general, it is strongly recommended that visitors to Haiti do not rent a car.  This is primarily because the roads of Haiti are not up to international standards and driving a car is generally considered dangerous.  However, there are plenty of visitors who do opt to rent cars upon arrival at the airport and many report having a decent time doing so.

More commonly, visitors make use of the public transportation options in Haiti, with the bus being the preferred method of getting around.  More information about the busses, which run slightly differently than busses in major cities around the globe, is online at http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g14... .

Travelers also often make use of taxis in the area.   Taxi service also differs from that in other areas of the world, with the main difference being that taxis pick up passengers until the car is full.   This means that you may be riding with strangers to your destination.   However, most travelers enjoy this.   It gives them a chance to meet some other travelers and even some locals in the area and they often find that they would like to see some of the places to which these other people are heading.   Fares are always the same so visitors do not have to worry about added charges for the detours of going around with the others.
