Car Hire Antigua

Antigua and Barbuda Car Rental Mini Guide

Having a rental car in Antigua and Barbuda will enable you to see more of this Caribbean island and really make the most of your visit here, however getting the right rental car to suit your needs is a key factor to making the most of your rental car.

Firstly, it’s worth noting that car rental is quite limited on Antigua and Barbuda with few of the international rental agents operating here. In fact, only Avis, Dollar, Hertz and Thrifty are the recognised car rental companies here, whilst Drive-A-Matic are well known in the Caribbean, a household brand they are not.

Unsurprisingly, the airport is the most popular location to arrange car rental in Antigua as most agents are based in the terminal or within a short transfer from the airport.
