Comfort and convenience at the best price
We understand the importance of choosing the right pick-up location. With that said, Bookingauto strives to provide customers with the opportunity to collect a car from all desired locations in Barbados, including the city centre, main railway stations, and the nearest airports. Thanks to such a large selection of rental points, our clients can book a car in Barbados and pick it up at a convenient place for them.
Options and possibilities:
We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Barbados on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Mercedes E Cabrio from us, starting at €80 per day and rented out by the popular company EUROPCAR in Barbados. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Mercedes V-Class might be best - from €61 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, ENTERPRISE recommends opting for a business class car like BMW 5 series for €64 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model VW Polo for just €17 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

Popular locations in Barbados
The rental points are grouped into three main locations: city, airports, and railway stations. Therefore, it won’t be difficult for you to find an option that suits you. Important note: the number of cars offered and the rental price in different rental locations in Barbados may differ. That is, car rental at the airport can be more expensive compared to the city centre. However, there is generally a larger choice of models at the airport. To pick the best option, you should study all of the offers, compare prices, and then make a decision.
Estimated daily prices
During the high season in summer, car rental in Barbados costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the Skoda Octavia popular in Barbados costs €47 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €8 for the same model.
During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a Mercedes E Cabrio is offered at €80 per day.
Among the economy classes, the most popular model in Barbados is the VW Polo. The rental price for such a car starts from €17 per day from EUROPCAR.
For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a BMW 5 series will cost about €64 per day.
The excitement noticeably subsides in autumn and rental companies begin to reduce their rates. For example, you can rent a Renault Kaptur very cheaply in the autumn for just €30 per day.
It will also be easier to find unusual and exclusive car models. For example, by renting a Porsche Macan, you will experience real driving pleasure and enjoy a luxurious visit that will remain in your memory forever.
Cancellation policy
We provide preferential cancellation / amendment terms for most cars and rental companies in Barbados
If you cancel your reservation at least 24 hours prior to receipt (48 hours in some cases), you will be refunded in full in almost all cases.
If you cancel less than 24 hours in advance (48 hours in some cases), you will receive a full refund minus an administration fee in almost all circumstances.

A “no-show” can mean that:

● You failed to pick up your car in Barbados at the arranged time and date.
● You failed to provide the documentation required to pick up the car.
● You failed to provide a credit card in the main driver’s name with enough available funds on it.
In the event of any of the above, no refunds can be made.
