This is usually a great method to really get the most out of your Barbados honeymoon to really see the island and its inhabitants. You don't need to use the companies mentioned above.

Of course aside from these local car rental services you will also find a number of bigger well known ones. Avis, Dollar Rent a Car, Alamo, Budget, Thrifty Car Rental and Europcar also have services in Barbados so you can take your pick from local services or these.

Also you should know that before you can go driving around in Barbados there are a number of things which you should have.

A driving permit is on top of the list. You can get one from your Barbados car rental company when you hire a vehicle, at police stations or the Ministry of Transport. A fee of $10BDS is required for this along with a valid driving license from your country.

Driving is done on the left side of the road and a seatbelt must be worn at all times when driving. If you fail to wear a seatbelt it is considered illegal and a driving offense. If you are driving with children they will also need the necessary safety gear in the form of a car seat.
