St Vincent and the Grenadines Taxis and Car Rental

Taxis are available on the larger islands like St Vincent and Bequia. On some of the smaller islands of the Grenadines such as Mayreau or Petit St Vincent there are none available, but the islands are small enough to walk around and you can ask your hotel for a pick up. Taxis do not run on a meter but on a fixed price fare set by the government, so you should confirm the price of the journey before taking the ride. On St Vincent you can call Sam’s Taxi and Tours (+11-784-456-4233), and on Bequia you can call Jump in Taxi Service (+11-784-458-3782).

There are car rental companies on St Vincent and Bequia, which provides a nice way of exploring the islands. Be aware that some of the roads on the islands may not be paved, so it is worth renting an SUV (known as ‘Jeeps’) for added safety. On St Vincent you can call Avis (+11-784-456-2929) or Hertz (+11-784-456-1743). On Bequia you can call B&G Jeep Rental (+11-784-458-3760) or Challenger Rental Service (+11-784-458-3811)
