What is roadside assistance?
Roadside assistance (sometimes called roadside service) is the service which assists individuals in an emergency situation.
For example, the service is arranged through a club like AA or prepaid card or through travel insurance plans like Allianz that can be used for a rental car.
Usually, the roadside assistance provided by members of AAA is more detailed than the ones you can find on credit cards.
Covered roadside assistance services benefits:
Here are the extended services that we provide and the fee for each service:

Terms and conditions on emergency roadside assistance:
However, you will be responsible for the cost of non-warrantable tire repair and lost-key replacement or other services.
- Carry a valid driver’s license from your country of origin. ( NO international driver’s permit is required ). You can get a mandatory visitor’s permit to drive in Barbados. Also, make sure you have a valid credit card.
- Parking areas marked as P within Bridgetown (within city limits). Make sure you park in well-lit areas for safety
- Suppose you decide to rent a car in Barbados. Avoid rush-hour traffic on the island heading towards Bridgetown (the capital) during morning session and returning in the afternoon. It’s crucial when you intend to be on the road or have appointments
- Most of Barbados’s roads are one lane in either direction. Many country streets are poorly lit at night, so be careful when travelling
- Wearing seat belts are required by law (for both drivers and passengers)
- Despite its small size, driving is not unusual to find oneself lost when driving on an island like Barbados. Renting a GPS is a good investment, or downloading Google Maps on your phone.

Our Customers Review for road assistance
Andrew Hoyle
3 years ago
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.

They are available at the cost of US$5.00 per day.
