KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Holetown
- Cheap car hire in Holetown is the best way to see this vibrant part of Barbados, particularly as public transport is unreliable when it comes to far-flung parts of the area. Having the freedom to explore at your leisure means cocktails on the beach, dinners at lively restaurants and taking in the buzz of this happy town, with its beautiful lush surroundings. Visit the 17th-century St James Parish Church, one of the oldest buildings in the area, the Chattel House Village for boutique and local shopping, the Folkestone Marine Park, and so much more. If visiting in February, you can enjoy the annual Holetown Festival. It lasts a week and includes some of the best musical offerings, folk dancing, concerts, and local dining you could ever experience from a Barbadian holiday.
