Basseterre Car Hire

Founded by the French in 1627, Basseterre, the capital of St Kitts and Nevis, is one of the oldest cities in the Eastern Caribbean. The contrast between traditional French and British architecture and Caribbean culture lends the area a vibrant diversity.

Hiring a car in Basseterre

The city of Basseterre is fairly flat, covering an area of bay approximately 2 miles across and is therefore easy to traverse by foot or bus. To explore the rolling hills and incredible landscape of the rest of the island, it may be worth considering the cheap Basseterre car hire available. If you're arriving by plane Basseterre flights operate to and from the Robert L. Bradshaw Airport and it's easy to arrange car hire from Basseterre Airport itself, thus avoiding the taxi or bus fare to your accommodation. As in Britain, cars are driven on the left hand side of the road.
