Jean-Pierre CAPEL
Très bon accueil des personnels de l'agence, à la mise à disposition de la voiture comme à sa restitution, Navette aéroport/agence hyper pratique et rapide, Véhicule conforme, mais avec quelques petits coups sur la carrosserie qu'il a fallu prendre en photo car il ne figuraient pas sur la fiche de location, et ainsi éviter toute mauvaise surprise, Seul bémol, l'état intérieur qui n'était vraiment pas top avec notamment le pare brise très sale, ce qui gênait considérablement la visibilité de nuit, Je recommande cet agence.
Armelle de Gaillande
J'ai loué une voiture pendant 3 mois. Bon rapport qualité/prix. Véhicule en bon état et aucun souci mécanique pendant toute la location. Seule petite remarque, nous avons dû mettre à niveau la pression des pneus car le voyant s'est allumé dès le 2e jour de location. Un grand merci au personnel très aimable à l'accueil et à la restitution du véhicule 😊

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.
