They shouldn't think of themselves as "Caribbean." Look at a map and you'll see why—it's at roughly the same latitude (32°20') as Charleston, South Carolina (32°47').

Yeah, that's the first reason, the distances. There's other cultural reasons I can't really speak for, but that was the advice we were given when discussing support and situations to the clients.

I have wanted to get to Bermuda for a good while now and have just never gotten the chance. When you say tourists can rent EVs, what sort of EVs do you mean? My wife has been to Bermuda (before we got married) and she said that back then tourists could only operate motorcycle-style scooters. Is that still the case or do they allow something else these days? She didn't operate one of the scooters herself, which was probably a good thing because she tends to be directionally challenged.

When I was there last (2016ish?) the best thing you could rent as a tourist was an electric moped.

I wasn't aware of vehicle rental directly from the airport, but since neither of those cars could fit much more than a backpack and a camera bag, I would have needed a taxi. I only carried a camera bag for my little drive to the beach and a few other spots.
I used a rental car app (called "Current"), since it was walking distance from my hotel. You upload your information and driver's license and credit card ahead of time, and then pick an available car on the app. I picked one that had a longer electric range than two other choices. Picking you time of pick-up/return gave me a few more vehicle choices. Give the rental app at least 36 hours to process all the driver information or it won't confirm the reservation and availability.
I drove a Renault Twizy, which seats 1.75 adults, from what I heard, since it's a real squeeze in the back. I was comfortable enough.
The Citroen Ami was the same price, and seemed to have a little more room. There were not as many of these available.

Looks similar to the "Privet Drive" sign used in Harry Potter.

Wow, good catch!

Thanks. Makes sense that those sorts of vehicles weren't available when she visited. I'm not sure when that was other than that it was more than 20 years ago.
