KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Vieux Fort
- Renting cheap car rentals in Vieux Fort presents several advantages for tourists. One primary reason is that the city is relatively small, and taxis, buses, and other forms of public transportation can be scarce and unreliable. By having Vieux Fort car rentals, visitors can set their own pace and schedule, enabling them to visit the attractions they want, when they want. Several places worth visiting in or around Vieux Fort are more accessible if you have a car. For example, the Maria Islands Nature Reserve and the Anse Des Sables beach are just a short drive from the airport.
- Castries Hewanorra Airport (UVF) is the main airport serving Vieux Fort and is only 5 km (3.5 miles) away. Rental car desks in UVF are located in the arrivals area of the terminal building. There is no airport shuttle to the car rental facility, but most rental car companies provide a free shuttle service from the airport to their car park facility, which is usually located off-site. Castries George F. L. Charles Airport (SLU) is approximately 48 km (30 miles) from Vieux Fort. The rental car offices at SLU are also located in the arrivals area of the terminal building.
- Driving in Vieux Fort can be quite different from what visitors may be used to in their home countries. The driving style in Vieux Fort is generally calm and relaxed, so navigating the roads will be easy. However, drivers should also be aware of occasional aggressive drivers who ignore traffic rules, especially during rush hour. It is not uncommon to see people jaywalking, so drivers should be extra cautious when driving cheap car rentals in Vieux Fort, especially in pedestrian areas. Most of the cars you will encounter in Vieux Fort are small, including hatchbacks and compact vehicles.
- Vieux Fort experiences traffic during rush hour, particularly in the morning and evening, around 7:00 am-9:00 am and 4:00 pm-6:00 pm. The roads along the eastern and western coastlines can be particularly affected, as these are the main routes connecting Vieux Fort to other parts of the island. In general, it's advisable to avoid driving cheap car rentals in Vieux Fort during rush hour if possible. During rainy seasons, the roads in Vieux Fort can become slippery and muddy, particularly in rural areas. Drivers should exercise caution and, if possible, avoid driving during heavy rains.

These vehicles can also handle rough roads and provide extra stability, especially when driving up steep hills or through narrow streets.

Pros:
Car was relatively clean and handled the winding mountain roads. Drop off was easy. Staff was friendly and accommodating.Cons:
I reserved a full-sized SUV months in advance because we have a large group doing work at a local hospital with some equipment and gear. Reserved through ACE but the local company was called Drive-o-matic. When I arrived I was given a much smaller car and they were very annoyed when I asked to be given a car of the corresponding size and price I had already payed. Eventually she located a vehicle that would suit our group. Car not great quality compared to what I had last year when I used SIXT. Probably will not rent through ACE again.2.0 Poor
Oct 2018
Pros:
NothingCons:
Poor customer service, we reserved a Jeep Liberty or similar and the lady gave us a Jimny arguing that she didn't have anything else and the only thing that she could do was giving us a refund which at that time would meant to be stucked in the airport which is 1 hour and a half far way from our hotel. Very poor customer service. The lady said that Kayak wasn't a reliable source and that she wasn't obligated to honor what the reservation said, which is unbelievable as I always use Kayak and this is the very first time that I have a situation like this.Hertz

We made a reservation 4 months ago, showed up to pick up our car and were told they had no cars left. They ignore reservations and just give cars on a first come first served basis. They did nothing to rectify the situation, we had to pay $100 for a taxi and book another car through another company. Do not book through Avis, it was truly an awful experienceDriveCyprus
