Arrange for your car hire in advance

To avoid long queuing at the arrivals terminus waiting to be attended to at the car hire desks, it is prudent to make advance plans prior to your travel. The benefits of this are many among them being: giving you ample time to research on the available agencies and the services offered; to compare prices and charges at different agencies, allow you to exchange notes with previous clients of the agencies and above all, it is a process that saves time, effort and money. How exactly does online booking save you money? Many agencies offer discounts for advance bookers with the discount depending on the duration of your hire as well as the extra packages you may opt for. Some discounts may go as high as 40% or the original charge.

To be eligible for car hire in GP, you just fall between the ages of 21 and 75 inclusive and should have a valid driving license which you should have been in possession of for at least a year prior to your date of booking the rental. Driving is on the right hand side of the road and wearing both front and rear belts is mandatory; a rule strictly adhered to by law enforcers. Pointe a Pitre is an area with many petrol stations with the main kinds being diesel and Super 95 OCT so keep this in mind while choosing a rental car. that aside, never park under palm trees; they are many all over the island and falling coconuts can easily damage the rental; in turn incurring you a higher charge, so be careful.

For the night owls, the main city life is pretty lonely but with a rental car, drive down to the lively Bas-du-Fort District and have yourself a cold beer while just hanging out.
