Renting a car in St Lucia is worth it for some trips and a waste for others. The honest verdict by traveller type, from a company that rents cars and runs transfers.
Daily rates by vehicle type, plus the four costs most quotes leave out: the temporary driving permit, insurance excess, the security deposit and fuel. Real numbers from a local company.
