Barbados Tourist Information
The Caribbean island of Barbados lies in blue-green waters and is surrounded by a coral shoreline. Check the official tourist board website above.
Barbados started life as a retreat for the wealthy. They arrived to be revived, or even cured, from everyday ills. Nowadays, its clean air, warmth and relaxing scenery make it an ideal haven to escape to. All inclusive holidays help this. Take time out to visit Bridgetown, the capital city of Barbados. With its many church spires, you would be forgiven for thinking you were in an English village. The rough terrain is best explored by a SUV.
Finally, when driving in Barbados keep an eye out for the mongoose, but do not stop your car, as they will be enticed to cross the road regardless of oncoming traffic.
A small booking deposit will secure the rental car of your choice. The balance is paid on arrival to the car hire company. This eliminates the concerns about volcanic ash, airline strikes, air controllers working to rule etc.
Please keep in mind that on flying out of the airport, you will need to pay departure tax currently US12.50, payable when checking in at the airport.
Compulsory Local Charge. A one off fee of US$5 will be charged for a Barbados driving permit.
