Barbados Car Rental Mini Guide

Car hire in Barbados is a great way to explore the island and see beyond the confines of the hotel grounds.  All inclusive packages to Barbados are very popular and many tourists miss out on the real Barbados experience.  A rental car in Barbados and picked up from Grantley Adams Airport will soon get you on your way to the hotel long before the tour bus has left the airport.

Visit popular destinations on Barbados island such as St James or Christchurch and get a flavour of this Caribbean Island. Hiring a car in Barbados is the only way to see the beautiful interior of the island without having to brave the hot and crowded conditions of the Barbadian (Bajan) buses.

Car rental in Barbados is your ticket to the holiday of a lifetime and there are too many gorgeous beaches here to see without taking advantage of car rental. Some of the best of them are on the south coast where the water is a wonderful mixture of the calm Caribbean Sea and the vibrant Atlantic Ocean.

Head to the island’s most popular beach at Accra on the south coast, also on the south coast you may wish to visit the Oistins fish market which sells the island’s best fresh fish by day and has some of its best rum shops to frequent at night, all easily accessible with a rental car.

Top tips when hiring a car in Barbados

  • Remember to drive on the left and like in the UK, the steering wheel will be on the right-hand side of the car
  • The minimum age to hire a car is 21, expect to pay a surcharge if under 25 and you’ll need a medical certificate if over 70
  • Don’t be alarmed if someone ‘honks’ the horn at you, it’s rarely used in an aggressive manner
  • GPS or sat nav is highly recommended as whilst the road network is generally good, signage is not always great
