Car Rental Tips: Hiring a Car in St Lucia

Going to St. Lucia for a vacation is a great experience, but unless you want the ride from hell or willing to pay a great price, you better be careful when it comes to picking the car rentals in St Lucia for your transportation needs. Here are a few tips on how you can fully enjoy the trip minus all the unnecessary hassles.

First. Know what you need. When it comes to hiring a vehicle, its best to know exactly what you would need and want the vehicle to have. If you are traveling alone, would a small compact car be enough? If it would be a family trip maybe an SUV or a van would be better, depending on the size. Also be specific when it comes to additional fixtures you may want the car to have like car seats for the baby, a bike carriage or a carrier for the extra luggage.

Are you more comfortable driving on manual or automatic transmission? Some countries have manual transmission as a norm; so do not just give out a vague and careless request for a vehicle. The more specific you are with what youll need, the less disappointed youll be when you finally realize you need something you dont have.

Scout. Ask or research about St Lucia car rental agencies. Dont just go for the first company you see. If youre going for the practical approach, dont just choose the cheapest either. Big rental companies have additional services like emergency roadside assistance that small car companies do not usually offer. Another way to look for the best is looking for customer reviews that will give you an idea what the company and its services are like. When it comes down to it, make sure to pick the company that will give you the best value for your money.

Before signing the rental contract, carefully read the terms and conditions. Ever heard of the phrase fine print? Be proactive when it comes to asking about limitations, penalties and additional charges should something happen on the trip. When it comes to insurance, you usually dont have to avail of the companys collision or loss damage waiver when you already have a personal auto insurance. And when you charge the rental against your credit card, your transaction is supposed to be insured. But this of course varies per policy and credit card company, better call your agent or your card company, just in case.

Upon receipt of your vehicle, do a careful inspection before driving it out. Any defects should be reported immediately. Familiarize yourself with the vehicle and memorize important details should you decide to park it somewhere and forget its location. When you have also hired a driver, get acquainted with him and work out a means of communication should you lose sight of each other at any point during your trip.

Lastly, Be on time when returning the vehicle to avoid late, and even early, charges. Inspect the interior of the car to avoid losing personal property and be present during last inspection.
