Getting to Emerald Island

DRIVING DIRECTIONS

When you pick up your car at the airport, remember these things:

Pick up a map on your arrival (usually given one on collection of car from the hire company).
Familiarise yourself with your vehicle, which will usually have an automatic gearbox.
Tuck your left leg back towards your seat and away from the pedals if you are not used to driving automatics.
Make sure you have change for toll roads (at tolls, use green lane marked “change & receipts”).
Overtaking is allowed on the nearside or offside.
Road signs are different to the UK (situated at the junction, not before it).
Speed limit on Interstate is 70 mph.
Otherwise the speed limit will be sign posted.
