Anyone who has visited Barbados will tell you the same thing; that this Caribbean Island is paradise. Barbados is a coral island, which means that the sand is fine and white, and the water is clear and blue- ideal for those looking for their own piece of heaven. The beaches are truly spectacular, and each corner of the island offers an alternative. It is beneficial to arrange car hire in Barbados so that you can really take advantage of what this idyllic place has to offer.
Barbados has a tropical climate, meaning that the temperature is hot, and the rainfall is plentiful. Be aware that the rainy season in Barbados is during June through to October, meaning that whilst temperatures will still be scorching, you are more likely to be subject to storms. Most tourists visit from November to February, when the rainy season has ended and the temperature cools a little. It is wise to pack an umbrella or some waterproof poncho's your hire car to make sure that you keep dry during Barbados' rainy season!
When visiting Barbados, make sure you take a break from the beach, and use your hire car to drive to the Island's capital Bridgetown. Here you will find an excellent array of shops (some with tax free shopping!) and restaurants. The main street where all the action will be is Broad Street, which is also the home to the Parliament buildings. Bridgetown is only eight miles away from the main Barbados Airport (Grantley Adams), where you will find a bus service that will transport you to Bridgetown for a very reasonable price. There is also a 24 taxi service waiting outside the Grantley Adams Airport. The best option is to organise Barbados car hire in advance, which means you will not be reliant on public transport, and can explore this beautiful island at your own pace.
