Cons: The deposit for the car hasn't cleared, 10 business days after the transaction. This has been very frustrating, financially. Otherwise it was fine.

Cons: Despite choosing Budget for its price, and declining the insurance, upon picking up the car we were told that to decline the insurance we would need to leave a $12,000 deposit!! We were basically forced to take the insurance for $10/day.

Cons: We were forced to buy car insurance even though we made it clear to them that my credit card covers car rental insurance on international trips. In addition they placed a €800 block on my card as well. Very disappointed and frustrated to argue with the attendent at the counter after a long flight to get there.

Cons: Returning the car was hard because they were no agents. They don't open early. The reps gave someone else reservation and they wanted to charge me 3 times the amount the original booking.

Pros: Nice car

Cons: Slow service, lengthy wait for shuttle, language barrier; reservation indicated drop-off would be when office closed, but clerk did not volunteer how that should be done and customer left to squeeze out that info. Would not accept well known 3rd party international Allianz Car Rental Insur. policy as reason to reduce or eliminate required large credit card deposit.

Top tips for renting a car in Pointe-à-Pitre

Pointe-à-Pitre is a beloved holiday destination famous for its fish markets, the scenic coastline, the Musée Saint-John Perse, and many other places of interest. Nestled in the middle of Guadeloupe, this city is also the perfect base to explore the whole island – and there is no better way to do this than by renting a car. Make the most of your trip and become the creator of your own schedule.

Pointe-à-Pitre International Airport is only a 15-minute drive from the city center in the inland. After landing, travelers will find a number of agencies at the car rental center, which is situated in an annex close to the North Terminal. The service desks can be found on level 0. Once the car is picked up, travelers should head toward the Boulevard des Héros to reach Pointe-à-Pitre center.

Pointe-à-Pitre in Guadeloupe is governed by France and the same road regulations apply in most places. The rule of right is strictly adhered to, meaning any vehicle coming from the right – also in a roundabout – has the right of way, unless posted otherwise. Plan journeys ahead of time and consider taking a GPS system, as everything is posted in French and English is not primarily used on the island. Drunk driving is also a very bad idea in Pointe-à-Pitre, as the regulations are very strict and the absolute upper allowed alcohol limit ends at 0.05, rather than 0.08.

Pointe-à-Pitre has increased traffic during the summer, since it is a popular travel destination. Additionally, driving at night outside the city limits should be avoided if possible, as some roads are not well-lit or sign-posted, and it may be confusing as to which street regulations prevail. Try to plan your travels in advance so that you return to the accommodation in time to enjoy a hassle-free driving experience.
