Couldn’t recommend Drive Barbados enough. They were easy to deal with and the rental process was quick and easy.
They offered the cheapest rental I could find and were more than happy to drop off and pick up the car from where I was staying!
Will definitely be using their services next time I’m in the country. Thanks again DB!
