Car hire

Although you could rely on taxis to get you round the island, car hire is strongly recommended, and we can arrange this for you. Vehicles available include soft top 4x4, hard top 4x4 with air-con, air-con saloons and people carriers. Local hire prices are quoted in US Dollars – typically US$40-50 per day. For those used to English prices, petrol is very cheap.

You can collect your car at the airport, or opt for a taxi transfer and have it delivered to the villa the following day.
