 | Port-au-Prince Flights and Airline Tips | Tips 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
While in Haiti a rental is a great option, but unfortunately rentals in Haiti are very very expensive.
Avis is usually the best choice, which is by the airport. Memory rent car is also a good choice on Clercine before you reach Tabarre. Using public transportation is definitely not for the average person, you will experience fatigue from the heat and over crowding. And riding public transportation in Port-Au-Prince is not recommended for safety reasons.
If you want to visit the provinces the best option is flying. Tortugair airways is my personal favorite and I highly recommend flying with them. Prices are around $140USD round trip. There's also a new airline called Tropical Airways I used them once In February to go to the Carnival in Cap - Haitien.
Pricing is around $125USD. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Craziest thing ever.....I wouldn't plan on renting a car unless you are a daredevil. No traffic laws, lights or sings make it a nutty place to drive. TapTaps aren't the safest things to drive in. If you can afford it, I would encourage hiring a driver or taking a taxi. It's the best way to go... Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Taptaps are trucks that look 'somewhat' nice with all there paitings on the outside. However don't be fooled. They are not the safest thing. The way they work is that you everyone piles in the back cab of the truck. If you're lucky you have a little wood bench to sit on. I saw small 1/4 ton Toyota trucks carrying aproxmiately 15 people. If people could grab on to piece of metal on the truck, they were a passenger, that's basicaly how it worked.....and I thought Toyota's were crap.... Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Taptaps are brightly painted local transportation. You can't miss these moving art pieces as they lumber by covered in art drawings of Hollywood celebrities and/or patron saints, usually accompanied by a Creole phrase. Typically filled to the brim with passengers and cargo. Personally, I questioned the safety of these and avoided them. Would recommend the same, but it depends on your comfort level.

Tasting sugarcane is a must when in Haiti. It is something that is very popular in this region. you can compare it to some sort of branch. You cut the red peeling off to get to the nice and juicy center. Suck out the sweet juice until you have had enough! I found it to be very addicting. I turned into the team peeler during the second trip! Leave a Comment Directions: Check out the street vendor on the side of the street!!

Yes, the beer is a must see activity! The most common beer in Haiti is "Prestige". Seriously it is not to bad.....I actually liked it!
This stuff is found anywhere and is approxiamtely 60 cents US. Yes 60 cents US!!!
November 2004-- It looks as the Prestige beer company has followed in the western worlds footsteps. They have now created a shmirnoff like cooler named "Prestige Silver" Leave a Comment Directions: Check out the guy with the cooler on the side of the street or any corner store
