The smallest independent country in South America has a lot to offer visitors, and if you’re planning to rent a car in Suriname, you’ll be able to explore at a leisurely relaxed pace to enjoy all that this small South American nation has to offer.
While Suriname only recently gained independence from the Netherlands (1975), modern Suriname offers travelers an eclectic developing country with a tropical climate. Traveling in a Suriname rental car is relatively inexpensive, though it’s recommended that you rent a car with four wheel drive, and some local companies will ask that you not drive into the rainforest in your rental vehicle.
Most tourists and travelers will arrive at Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport (PBM), formerly called the Zanderij International Airport. Canadian residents can purchase their 90 day tourist card upon arrival for $25USD or €20 cash.
When you pick up your Suriname car rental at the airport, you’ll be able to explore Paramaribo, the capitol city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site – a charming city filled with colonial buildings, great restaurants, and cultural treasures.
Paramaribo is the only true city in Suriname, but a few of the most popular villages for tourists (most located along the country’s northern coast and easily accessible via rental car in Suriname) include: Albina, Brownsweg, Lelydorp, Moengo, Nieuw Amsterdam, Nieuw Nicherie, Paranam, and Wageningen. Nearby French Guiana is also a beautiful visit for tourists with Cayenne being an unforgettable destination spot.
Key points of interest worth driving to in Suriname include:
One of the most popular activities for tourists in Suriname is to explore the nation’s amazing national reserves and the diverse flora and fauna located within them. Dining is a real treat while in Suriname, with excellent Indian, Chinese, Javanese and Creole cuisine available in Paramaribo and throughout Suriname. We recommend pairing dinner with a fresh fruit cocktail or a locally brewed “Parbo-Beer.”
