Vehicle Pickup and Drop-off Locations

We deliver rental vehicles anywhere in Barbados. Delivery to most hotels is free between 8am and 5pm. Delivery of vehicles to the airport and seaport incurs a port-processing fee. After hours delivery may be arranged. Renters may return vehicle to our office or have it picked up from their hotel.

What is included in Rental Rates?

Rental rates normally include, unlimited mileage and taxes. The rates also include a Standard Collision Damage Waiver, which reduces the renter’s liability for any physical damage to only US$1000 (excepting for tyres, rims and trims). Additional level of protection is offered thru our Full Collision Damage Waiver.

Who may rent vehicles?

Drivers must hold driving licences for at least three (3) years. Licences presented with endorsements and traffic offenses may be refused. Drivers must be between 21 and 70 years old. Driver’s who are less than 25 years only will incur a surcharge. Driver’s who do not reside in Barbados must obtain a Visitor Driver’s Permit, which we supply for US$5.00. The company reserve the right not to rent to any person it sees fit.

Barbados Visitor Driver’s Permit

The local authorities require that all drivers possess a local driver’s license or a Visitor Driver’s Permit. We supply these visitor’s permits on behalf of the Licensing Authorities of Barbados at a cost of US$5.00 per person. These permits enable the holder to drive in Barbados for 1 year.

Authorized Additional Drivers

Persons desiring to drive the vehicle must be authorized by the company and recorded on the rental agreement. The qualification requirements of an additional driver are the same as those for the renter (see above, - Who may rent vehicles?). There is a daily fee for additional authorized drivers. If the renter allows the vehicle to be driven by an unauthorized person, then all protections or insurance provided under the agreement are voided. The vehicle may also be repossessed if seen driven by unauthorized persons.

Full Collision Damage Waiver

Qualified renters may opt for the Full Collision Damage Waiver (FCDW). The FCDW reduces the renter’s liability for physical damage to $0.0 (excepting for tyres, rims and trims). The company reserves the right to deny FCDW to any renter, after considering the risks and the renter’s profile.

Road Side Assistance

Whereas our vehicles are well maintained, sometimes things may go wrong. We operate a 24-hour support service and we are always just a telephone call away. The island is small and we respond promptly. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT to repair the vehicle. The renter may not effect any repair on the vehicle unless authorized by the company to do so.

Payments

Payments are generally collected upon the clients receiving the vehicles. We accept cash, US$, CAD$, EURO, Travelers Cheques, VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover credit cards. If neither the renter nor additional possesses an approved credit card, then a cash security-deposit is required (which is returned to client at the end of rental, provided that the vehicle is returned in the same condition received).

The Rental Day

The rental day is normally considered 24 hours after the vehicle is delivered to the renter.

No to smoking, drinking, eating and pets!

Smoking, eating and drinking are not permitted in our vehicles, neither are pets. Where the vehicle is returned in a filthy state, with smoke, food or other offensive odors, the renter will be charged a cleaning and fumigation fee.

In Case of accidents

All accidents must be reported. In case of an accident, the renter is required to obtain data from the other party/parties (license #, Name, Insurance Company, telephone numbers etc) and then call our company immediately. The renter should not leave the scene until the police and/or one of our agents appear at the scene. The renter also agrees that he/she will assist the company in completing a formal report for the insurance company.
