Getting around while staying at St. Lucia villas may prove difficult without access to a car. St. Lucia is large, and while St. Lucia villas are usually within a short range of beaches, restaurants, and boutiques, using the bus system to navigate the entire island would waste lots of precious vacation time. Many visitors staying at St. Lucia villas opt to rent a car, allowing themselves the option of touring as much as they'd like, at their own pace.
Major rental agencies and local Caribbean operators both have branches on St. Lucia. For guests of St. Lucia villas in Cap Estate, agencies in Rodney Bay and Gros Islet are the most convenient. St. Lucia villas in Soufriere are close to agencies in that town, and there are several in Vieux Fort near the Hewanorra International Airport. Guests at St. Lucia villas who want to rent a car need to be at least 25 years old and have a valid international driver's license. Temporary international permits can also be purchased from the rental firm for US$20. Weekly rates for renting a car in St. Lucia range from US$300 to $400, depending on the type of vehicle.
