Who Can Obtain a St. Lucia Rental Car?

If you are looking to visit the island of St. Lucia, you might be wondering if you will be able to drive here.  After all, there are many countries where tourists are simply unable to obtain a license or permit or where they must jump through a significant number of hurdles in order to rent and drive a vehicle.

Here in St. Lucia, we do require that all visitors seeking a St. Lucia driving permit have a valid driver's license in their home country.  If you already have an international driving permit, you simply need to have your permit stamped at the airport, but if not, you will be required to pay $20 USD for a temporary driving permit.  The permit is good for three months and is required in order to obtain a rental car.

If you are working with a chain car rental company or even many local companies, it is also required that all drivers be at least 25 years of age.  Here at St. Lucia Car Rentals, however, we employ a Young Driver Policy that enables drivers as young as 18 to rent a car and explore the island.  We know that there are many younger visitors to the island, and we work hard to meet the needs of all of our clients.
