We have been using Drive Barbados for the last 4 years. We have been coming to Barbados for the last 20 years, so we have tried several other car rental firms. We are so happy to have found Drive Barbados, none of the other car rental firms can beat them – not on price, or on the personal and efficient service given. We see no reason to use anyone else. We have recommended Drive Barbados warmly to others in our family.
