Providenciales International Airport is located about 10 kilometers from the western side of Grace Bay main tourist center. The airport is a popular air travel destination in the region and caters to a range of international airlines including Air Turks and Caicos, the national airline as well as Air Canada, West Jet, British Airways, US American Airlines and many others.
A Caribbean low season during mid December to mid April is a good time to target your visits to Providenciales as there are many air fare promotions offered during this time. The airport has a range of modern facilities including restaurants, parking, Wi-Fi and a fair amount of ground transportation options.
To reach the tourist center at Provo travelers can make use of different onward transfer options. Taxis can be hailed just outside the arrivals terminal. Most of the hotels in the city center can be reached within 20 minutes journey time by taxi. Taxis are metered but you should make sure the meters are turned on, since some drivers may expect you to pay a higher flat rate. Not all hotels in the district provide free hotel transfers. Taxis are mostly vans to accommodate group travelers.
For those who like to travel in style, to set their own pace and who enjoy a comfortable ride the best option is a rental car. Rental cars can also be arranged quickly and easily at the airport. There are several reputed international car hire agencies offering their services at the airport. A rental car is a sensible option to travel as the Island is quite extensive and many of the attractions as well as hotels are far flung.
While a rental car is the most often chosen options by many visitors to this part of the Island there are also other cheaper options to consider. Taxi rides are quite comfortable and a good way to get around provided your travel itinerary is not extensive. For travelling in the city center of Grace Bay many travelers use scooters or bicycles.
The pretty sidewalks make walking also an enjoyable option and it is easier to reach some of the cafes and shops in the tourist center on foot. While most major roads in the region are in good conditions roads off the beaten track are often bumpy as many of them are paved from coral rock.
