St Lucia Car Rental

Are you planning to explore and experience a true St Lucia vacation? Then a St Lucia car rental is a must. There are so many thing to do and see here including visiting beautiful secluded beaches and scenery that are just waiting to be discovered in St Lucia.

If you are the adventurous type, then you should get one of those 4 wheel drives; they make it so easy to go where you want to, but don't forget to hold onto your St Lucia map .

There are several reputable St Lucia car rental companies, that makes it easy to find the right vehicle of you choice. If you wish to drive in St Lucia, then you must purchase a local driving permit at a $16 fee.

To obtain this permit, you must present a foreign or international drivers license. Local driving permits are obtained from major St Lucia car rental companies or from the immigration office at the George Charles and Hewanorra international airport.

You should always remember that we drive on the left and to always wear your seat belts. You can be charged if you are found not wearing them. The charge can be cost up to US$750 so I will advise that you wear it all the time. The roads in St Lucia are narrow, so special care should be taken when driving.

You should also watch out for inconsiderate drivers because you may find a few every now and then. Traffic signs should be observed as with any other country. Failure to do so may also get you in trouble with St Lucia’s law.

It may not always be necessary to make reservations to get a car; however, there are times when it would be best to make reservations long in advance. During the time of St Lucia jazz and cricket, there always seem to be a lack of car rentals on the island, so it is best to make reservations in advance around that time.

Car rental rates range from US$55 a day to US$200 a day depending on what class of vehicle you want and are subject to other cost like insurance deposits in case you end up in an accident.
