Our Rates and how we charge

Our vehicle hire rates may vary from season to season.  Our rates are determined by supply, demand and market conditions.  Rates quoted are only guaranteed at the time they are quoted.

Vehicle hire works on a 24 hour basis – e.g. if you hire a vehicle at 9 a.m. and return it at 9 a.m. the next day, this would be considered a one day rental.  Extra charges will be applied if the vehicle is returned late.

Barbados Driving Permits

To drive in Barbados it is mandatory to obtain a Barbados driving permit, these may be purchased from our representative on delivery at a cost of $5 US each.  These permits are valid for two months.

Age and License Requirements

Drivers must be over 21 and under 75 years old.  Each driver must have held a valid driving license for at least two years – this license must be produced at the time of delivery of the vehicle, this is necessary for repeat clients as well. 

Extension of Hire

Requests for extension of the hire should be made 24 hours ahead of the return date, while we make every effort to allow extensions they are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.

Deposit Payments

A security deposit of USD$ 100 is required to secure a booking, this deposit is subtracted from the total rental amount and the remaining balance will be due upon collection of the vehicle. Deposits are fully refundable if a booking is cancelled more than 24hours in advance.

Cancellation Policy

Clients are asked to inform us as soon as they know they need to cancel the reservation. The reservation status will be changed to No Show & the deposit will be forfeited if the client has not shown up for the car within 24 hours and has not contacted us to change the delivery details.

Fuel Policy

Vehicles are delivered with a FULL tank of petrol.  Clients have two options:-

(1)   Return the tank full as delivered.  If this is not done there will be refueling and service charges at the end of the hire.

(2)   Clients may opt to pay for a FULL tank on delivery, and may return the vehicle as empty as possible.

Extra Drivers

There is an additional driver’s charge of $5 BBD per day per driver. 

Insurance Coverage

Our vehicles are comprehensively insured (which includes third party liability and theft).  If the vehicle is damaged the renter is responsible for the deductible of $2,000 US.  The basic insurance does NOT cover damages to tyres/rims, hub caps, windshields, interior damage and lost/damaged keys/fobs.  Charges will apply for roadside assistance.

Collision Damage Waiver

The client may purchase our COLLISION DAMAGE WAIVER at a cost of $14 US per day – this reduces the deductible to $ 250 USD  if the vehicle is damaged.  The CDW does NOT cover damages to tyres/rims, hub caps, windshields, interior damage and lost/damaged keys/fobs.  

A HOLD on the client’s credit card of $250 US will be taken on delivery – this will be released at the end of the hire, once the vehicle has been checked and there is no damage.
