Compact Hatch or Sedan – Which to Choose?

You’ve made your choice and Barbados is the winner. You’ve carefully planned your itinerary and all you need to make it all work is the freedom to drive around the island on your own schedule. Choosing the right hired car for your travels makes all the difference and that’s where we come in. We can offer more cost-effective transportation solutions for you, especially when compared to getting around the island by taxi.

At Stoute’s Car Rental we offer a range of small to mid-sized cars to suit your needs and to enhance your comfort on the smaller Bajan roads. Many of our country lanes can be quite narrow and are far easier to navigate in smaller vehicles. Many of our clients, especially those from North America, find it much easier to adjust to the smaller proportions in a proportionately smaller automobile.

Our range goes from the Kia Picanto to the ever popular and reliable Toyota Corolla. The Picanto is a versatile little car which is best suited to a couple or those with a couple of young children. This vehicle is comfortable and well powered for its size with the ability to easily maneuver both on the road and in tight spaces and the city.  While small on the outside, interior room is great and is further enhanced by the ability to fold flat the back seats to create a cavernous space into the hatch.

If you require something a little bigger our Toyota Yaris sedans are just the right fit for you and your family. With one of the best in class interiors for both size and functionality it is hard to beat this versatile little number. The Yaris is especially adept at swallowing a couple child seats, either forward or rear facing making ideal for your young family.

Just up in size, and perfect for those trips in groups of 4-5 are the mid-sized sedans – the Toyota Corolla or the Kia Cerato. These are some of the more popular and reliable models of car seen on the roads around Barbados and their ideal size makes them perfect for your family’s hire car choice. Offering all of the right creature comforts, either of these sedans will easily accommodate 4-5 adults in air-conditioned comfort as you make your way around the island. The great styling easily lets you slip from the luxury of the west coast to the rugged beauty of the east coast and everywhere in between without feeling like you’ve pulled up in the wrong automobile.
