KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Castries

  • Driving a car hire in Castries gives you the freedom to explore Castries and the rest of Saint Lucia at your own pace. You can visit various attractions, go on day trips to other parts of the island, and discover hidden gems that might not be easily accessible by public transport. There are several beautiful locations you can explore by car, such as Marigot Bay, located just south of Castries, known for its crystal-clear waters and green surroundings. You can enjoy the stunning views, relax on the beach, or indulge in water activities such as kayaking and snorkelling.
  • If you are flying into Saint Lucia, then the closest international airport to Castries is Hewanorra International Airport at Vieux Fort (UVF), which is located about 59 km (37 miles) away. There are several major car hire companies located within the airport for your Castries car hire, including Sixt, Thrifty and Europcar. The car hire desks are located on the Ground Floor of the airport, with Sixt and Thrifty located by the exit and Europcar within the terminal. You can expect the drive from the airport to Castries to take approximately 1h 15 mins, depending on the road conditions.
  • When driving your car hire in Castries, you should be aware that many of the roads in Castries, and throughout Saint Lucia, are poorly maintained and may have potholes, cracks, or uneven surfaces. This can make driving uncomfortable and increase the risk of accidents, especially at higher speeds. The roads in Castries are also often narrow and winding, particularly in hilly or mountainous areas. This can make it difficult to navigate, especially for drivers who are unfamiliar with the area.
  • You should be alert to the fact that some drivers in Castries may exhibit aggressive behaviour, such as speeding, tailgating, or making abrupt lane changes. It's important to stay calm, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, and be prepared for unexpected manoeuvres from other drivers. Moreover, Castries, and other parts of Saint Lucia, may lack certain traffic infrastructure elements, such as well-marked lanes, traffic lights, or clear signage. This can lead to confusion and increase the risk of accidents, especially for visitors who are not familiar with the area.
  • Book your car hire in Castries at least 1 week before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini hire cars in Castries are around 29% cheaper than other car types, on average
