Car Rental Rates
Unique Vacations can arrange your car rental on the island.
We use different car companies depending on vehicles
requested. Please note that car rentals on St. Lucia are expensive because
the salt air and roads are hard on vehicles. Even the large franchise
operations have small fleets, so all car options are not always
available.
Cars can be delivered to your villa or hotel (no additional charge). Unlimited mileage.
One day free on weekly rentals during low season.
We strongly recommend transfers from airport to villas as the
houses can be difficult to find.
Beginning December 15, 2003, the St. Lucia government will begin levying a US $5 per day tax on car rentals.

IslandTrips.com makes car reservations for its clients as a courtesy. Disputes must be
resolved with car rental agencies while on the island. Please read terms and conditions
below which may vary from agency to agency. |
| Terms and Conditions: Cancellation Policy: Notice of
cancellation must be given one week prior to reserved date in order to avoid cancellation
penalties. Less than one week notice, two days rental fee will be charged to your credit
card. If cancellation is made after vehicle has been delivered, 50 -100% of the rental
price, depending on the agency, will be charged to your credit card.
Collision Damage Waiver (optional): CDW IS US$10-$17 PER DAY, depending on the
car rental agency. CDW is not insurance. In the event of an accident, the client will be
responsible for the first US$500 if CDW is purchased. If client declines CDW, he/she will
be responsible for the first US$1500 in the event of an accident. With the purchase of
CDW, a deposit of US$250 - $500 or signed credit card imprint is required at the beginning
of the rental. If CDW is declined, a deposit of US$750 - $2500 or a signed credit card
imprint is required at the beginning of the rental.
Some credit card companies offer car insurance to their clients. In some cases, this
insurance may not apply to car rentals outside of their home country. It is the client's
responsibility to determine his/her coverage. In the event of an accident, client
understands that all repairs must be settled for locally. Client will be given copies of
the bills, which they may then claim back from their credit card company at home.
Vehicle is delivered in good operating
condition, and includes tires, tools, equipment, accessories, keys
and vehicle documents. The Renter will pay for damage or loss of any
part or component of the vehicle caused by accident, fire or theft,
regardless of who is at fault, to the full value. Where CDW is
accepted, responsibility for damages, after the first U.S.$500, is
waived providing the vehicle is operated in accordance with all
conditions of the contract. Vehicles must not be driven on the beach
- it is against the law. Client is responsible for all gas used,
flat or damaged tires, and traffic violations.
|
| Age Requirements: Local insurance requires that renter must be at least 25
years of age and no more than 65 years old, with a minimum of 3 years driving experience
in order to rent a vehicle. |
| Rental Period: Rentals are usually based on 24 hours. The vehicle
should be returned at the end of the rental about the same time it was delivered. There is
a two day minimum rental period. |
| Local permits: Cost is US$20 - US$22 per driver. They must be bought as the
client comes through immigration at the airports. An international driver's license must
be stamped at the airport to be valid |
| Booking Procedure: A credit card (VISA or MasterCard) is required to confirm a
vehicle reservation. |
