Our Customers Review For Road Assistance

Andrew Hoyle

We used Drive Barbados for a Moke. The car was what we wanted, their pricing was fair, their service was prompt and all communication was good. As it turned out a fault later occurred with the car (these things can happened) but I was pleased with the speed and way in which they promptly provided an alternative vehicle – I believe problems with their cars are rare but it is good to know you are dealing with people who promptly and conscientiously resolve problems. Strongly recommended.
