"Should I Rent A Car While in Barbados?"
To Rent A Car in Barbados or
Not......
In Barbados cheap car rentals can be found….but do you really need to
rent a car while you are here?
This is one of the most frequently
asked
questions by visitors……Should I rent a car and how much will it set me
back?
Unfortunately the answer to this
question is
“maybe”.
Everyone
knows how pricey a vacation can be but you still want to see as much of
the island as possible.
If you are staying in one of the many
resorts along the south or west coast then you may not need to rent a
car.
Most necessities, such as the beach,
supermarket and bank, will be within walking distance.
But if you are the adventurous type
and want
to explore the entire island then I personally recommend renting a car
as much value will come of it.
Many attractions, like Harrison’s
Cave, are
located in the central and northern parts of the island and having a
car will make visiting these attractions a breeze.
Which Type Of Vehicle Should I Rent?
There are many different types of cars
you
can rent ranging from an automatic moke to a fully loaded van and will
cost you anywhere from $32USD to $39USD a day.
Be aware that the price per day drops the longer you rent the car for
and that during the winter season Barbados car rental rates are higher.
Automatic mokes are the cheapest way
to go
and most tourists choose these.
However I recommend renting a soft top
jeep.
These jeeps are a little pricier than the automatic mokes but your
travels will not only be safer but also smoother.
This will also allow you to explore
some of
the bumpier roads and trails you may encounter.
A visitor’s driving permit is required
and
only cost $5 USD. This is usually delivered with the car.
