  • Same to same: you return the car with the same fuel level as at pick-up. Offered by Alamo, Enterprise, Bajan Car Rentals, Auto-Union and Ace.

What extras can I add to a car rental in Barbados?
You can add extras when you book or at the rental desk:
  • Additional driver: another person can share the driving if they meet the same requirements as the main driver (age and a valid driving license). Most companies charge a daily fee, but in Barbados Auto-Union includes an additional driver for free.
  • GPS navigation, to find your way on unfamiliar roads
  • Child seats, infant seats and booster seats, which are required by law for young children in most countries
  • Extra insurance that lowers or removes the excess you pay if the car is damaged.
Extras are limited, so it's best to reserve them together with the car.
