5 May - 12 MayIf you're interested in using rental cars while visiting the island of Barbados, you should keep in mind that texting or talking on the phone is illegal while driving. Hands-free and Bluetooth functions are allowed, but you can't use headsets or earpieces as they can distract you from the road. If you are stopped and fined by the local police for illegally using an electronic device, the fine will be expensive and you could face imprisonment for up to 18 months. It is a legal requirement that you use your headlights during the night in Barbados, and honking the horn is not always bad as it's a local way of saying hello or thank you to other drivers. The roundabouts in Barbados are simple but may be different to what you are used to, as you must always give right of way to traffic coming from the right.
Some car hire companies will require you to be at least 21 years old to rent a car, and you will be expected to have your driving license for at least two years, although some rental car companies may require up to five years of experience. If you are 25 years old or younger you can expect to receive an extra charge from car hire companies, and while most will accept both credit or debit cards when paying or making a deposit, some rental car companies in Barbados may ask for a cash deposit. Car rental companies will require you to provide a valid driver’s license from your country of origin, but you will also need to obtain a locally issued Barbados Visitor License, which is very cheap and covers up to two months.
Bridgetown, the capital city, is the home of most car hire companies, and it's also where you will encounter the most traffic while driving around the island. In general, driving around Barbados is easier than in most countries, but traffic in the capital is on the rise, especially with an increase of people commuting to the city for work while living in the smaller towns surrounding it. If you are planning on travelling around Bridgetown for a day, then we suggest walking, cycling, or taking the bus as the city is small enough that you may not need to use a rental car. Public parking is generally easy to find, and it's common to park on the sides of streets, as long as you are not blocking any roads or exits. If you are travelling outside the city of Bridgetown, then a car rental is the perfect way to see the incredible beaches and small towns that have made the island country famous.
Driving around the entire island of Barbados only takes about three hours in total, which is possible to do in one day or even an afternoon. Many travellers take the island bit by bit, driving to a new area and staying the night, but if you plan on making a road trip out of the whole island, we recommend driving clockwise around the coast, starting at Accra beach, beside Bridgetown. You can visit Pebbles Beach, which has clear water and the opportunity to go snorkelling with wildlife, before stopping in Bridgetown or Speightstown, which has colourful houses, shops and plenty of bars and restaurants to visit. We also recommend heading up north to see the Animal Flower Cave, where you can pay for a tour and swim in a natural pool of water inside the cave and see out across the ocean.
