That&#8217;s of course if you want to discover those secluded beaches, and other magical spots, off the beaten path &#8230; after all we won&#8217;t expect public transportation to be frequenting secluded spots, else they won&#8217;t be secluded anymore.<\/p>\n<p>But if you just want to hang around your hotel&#8217;s pool, lounge on the beach, sip those tropical cocktails or enjoy your favorite novel (which is perfectly fine) &#8230;then you don&#8217;t need a car rental in Grenada &#8230; there are lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/getting-around.html\">other ways to get around.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On my visit I had the good fortune to have many friends who had not seen me in years, competing to take me around, so I did not need a car rental &#8230; but I may not be as fortunate next time around so I intend to get a rental on my next trip.<\/p>\n<h3>Things to keep in mind<\/h3>\n<p>I did not rent a car, so I won&#8217;t recommend any specific car rental company&#8230; but I do want to give you a heads up on what to expect &#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First things first you will need a Grenada drivers licenses &#8230; which will be issued by the car rental company for about US$15.00, upon proof of your home drivers licenses &#8230; so don&#8217;t leave home without it.<\/li>\n<li>There can be a minimum age requirement (normally 25) so verify this with your travel agent or the attendant at the car rental. It is also a good idea to have insurance coverage &#8230; you are in different country, and the driving conditions are different, so let&#8217;s be on the safe side<\/li>\n<li>A 4&#215;4 is what you want if you really want to explore. You can get one for about $US50.00 per day &#8230; and it is discounted if it&#8217;s a weekly rental.<\/li>\n<li>You cannot get lost here &#8230; the island is too small, and in the event you made a couple wrong turns there will always be someone willing and able to give you directions &#8230; so make it an adventure and explore away<\/li>\n<li>make sure to ask for a map from the rental company (most of them will provide you with one). And Keep in mind that outside of the major towns, road signs are few.<\/li>\n<li>Oh and don&#8217;t forget we <b>drive on the left side of the road<\/b>, and most vehicles will be right hand drive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So there you have it, go ahead and <b>rent that 4X4, it&#8217;s a <q>no brainer<\/q><\/b> &#8230; or maybe it isn&#8217;t.<br \/>If you still have doubts about driving in Grenada (that&#8217;s natural)&#8230; maybe these <a href=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/driving-in-grenada.html\">driving tips<\/a> will ease your mind.<\/p>\n<h3>Car rental companies Info<\/h3>\n<p>Here is the contact information for some of the car rental companies in Grenada &#8230; again I have not yet used any of them, or researched their service, so this is not an endorsement. As I learn more anout these companies I will post the information here.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sunsation Tours 1-473-444-1594<\/li>\n<li>Dabs Car Rental 1-473-444-4116<\/li>\n<li>Davids Car Rental 1-473-444-3399<\/li>\n<li>Hestel Rentals 1-473-407-4692<\/li>\n<li>Y&amp;R Rentals 1-473-444-4448<\/li>\n<li>Jeep &amp; Mini Mokes 1-473-444-1398<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p >Happy driving.
