Car Rental in Guadeloupe

Should You Rent a Car in Guadeloupe?

Renting a car in Guadeloupe is highly recommended to explore the Butterfly Island independently and at your own pace. Given the current limitations of the public transport network, a car is undoubtedly the ideal mode of transport for the Guadeloupean territory. Despite its relatively modest area of 1,600 km², Guadeloupe is not fully served by public transport, and bus schedules can be limited. Moreover, buses do not run on Sundays or in the evenings, which can complicate your travels.

Without a car, you will lose a significant amount of your freedom of movement and mobility. You won't be able to visit Guadeloupe's tourist sites at your leisure, especially the secluded rivers in the hinterland.

However, with a rental car, you can explore the island at your own pace, according to your desires.

If you want to immerse yourself in the local culture and meet the Guadeloupeans, combining a car with another mode of transport can be an enriching experience.
