How can I get a cheap car rental in St. Lucia?

Avoid spending a fortune on a rental car by following these top tips:

• Browse as many different deals as you can (we make that task a piece of cake!);

• Look at the deals at all rental locations, including the airport and its surrounds. A brief cab drive to a nearby car rental facility may result in some generous savings;
• If you've got a bit of wriggle room timing-wise, change your dates to find cheaper prices on different days of the week;
• To avoid paying for an extra day or a late fee, aim to keep your pickup and drop-off times as similar as possible;
• Sometimes companies reward you big time for paying upfront — watch out for these penny-pinching offers;
• It's best to make a reservation as soon as your vacation dates are finalized. The early bird catches the worm!
