FAQs about rental cars in Barbados

Answers to our most common questions about the types of car rental

The Caribbean island of Barbados offers excellent places to explore. Despite being small, the island is accessible by car. It harbours a spectacular coastline, remarkably varied cultural heritage, and protected natural areas.

  • You only need a credit or debit card to book your car. 
  • Your reservation summary shows that you’ve paid for the car.
  • The main driver’s credit/debit card, with enough available funds for the car’s deposit.
  • Each driver’s full, valid driving licence from their country of origin, which they’ve held for at least 24 months.
  • Your passport and driver’s license ID

Besides the international permit, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit or debit card under your name to rent a car at Bridgetown Airport.

On average car rental rate of an economy hatchback (US$) • $99 a day, $320 every week ($46 a day), $1153 every month ($43 a day)

The economy hatchback ( Chevrolet spark or similar) is the most booked car type. The most booked SUV type is the soft-top Jimny jeep.

One of the best things about planning your vacation is the safe, scenic place with sightseeing opportunities for both young and old visitors, with friendly locals and a clean ocean breeze always near.

The island is safe to drive around; it demands your effort and vigilance as a road user to avoid undesired incidents and accidents.

Unfortunately, most rental car agent in Bridgetown Grantley Adams, does not accept cash. Instead, you must possess a bank card that will allow enough credit to pay your hire quote. Visa and Mastercard are among the major accepted cards. Additionally, authorization is needed for rental car at Bridgetown Grantley Adams if a customer wants additional services such as security or insurance.

Barbados’ car rentals cost varies by year. Compare prices month to month to find the best deal. The most affordable month for renting cars in Barbados is July — prices begin with US$ 40 for an Economy class car. This is 47% cheaper than the monthly average and 59% cheaper than renting cars in December.

You should generally find the best prices by selecting an off-site airport location. Airport rental car agencies offer a convenient option for renters who want to pick up a car directly from the airport. However, prices are usually higher as demand gets higher. Some off-site rental agencies offer transport services from the airport.

Rentals also price cars with unusual pricing methods in some situations. Additional fees and taxes make car rentals more expensive at the airport, and your bills will soon become too high. However, you can spend less on off-airport locations.

In Barbados, drivers must typically be at least 21. However, some rental car companies allow drivers as young as 18 years old to rent a car. But some rental agencies might require drivers to be at least 25. Remember that most agencies add daily fees for renters below 25 years old.
