What kind of car to rent in Barbados?

Four wheel drive jeeps are good in some of the islands, but now sure about Barbados. Can someone give me their thoughts on wether to go the jeep route or a Corolla. Are their many opportunities to use the four wheel drive on this island? Thanks

You will be fine with a regular car. The roads are pretty good in Barbados as compared to other Caribbean islands.

As long as you stay on the main roads you will be fine with a regualr car. If you plan to venture in to the interior, away from the beach areas then I would suggest something more rugged. The roads are all paved, but when driving through the interior, the roads do leave something to be desired, at least they did when I was there in 2007. Remember the interior is very elevated, I wouldn't call it mountains, but very high elevation (1100 feet) and those roads can be more difficult.

Whenever I go to the islands I try to rent the most beat up piece of crap, that is mechanicaly reliable,that I can find. The last thing I want is some prestine new vehicle without a mark or scratch on it. Saves a lot of headaches when you return the car at the end of the week.

We drove all over Barbados. No need for a jeep.

Thank You

I appreciate all the advise. I will rent a regular car.
