Make sure you get the rental insurance. Drivers here are crazy. Also prepay for the fuel if you can.
Verified travelerAug 2023
Renting a car definitely made our trip more accessible to many locations. Driving in Barbados is not difficult but the roads are far narrower than the one in the United States. There are so many potholes in the roads and avoiding them all was a bit tricky.

The car was all beat up and had absolutely no shocks. It was a horrible ride on the pot-holed roads of Barbados.

We arrived at the counter to be told there was a booking, however they have no car for us and that Kayak keep issue cars when they don't have available. No communication was given advising us on this. Absolutely terrible service. Will never use Kayak or Europcar again. Luckily we were able to arrange a car from another provider.
