Sketchy in what sense? There are plenty of car rental outfits in Barbados - - all of the larger (local) ones are legit. Stoutes is one that is often recommended, but you can find better prices. I recently used Regency, which was much cheaper and the car, although a bit tired, was adequate for my needs.

My family owns a home on the island and we go 4-5 times a year. We always use Drive-A-Matic Car Rentals. 1-246-422-3000. Fantastic Caribbean company; great (new) vehicles, very reliable, efficient service. Many different types of vehicles available.
Tip: Book your vehicle about 1 month in advance during peak season (mid-December through the end of April)
Been there over 6 times and never had an issue with car rentals just staying on the correct side of the road. Stoutes is who I have used except for last year I booked through thrifty I beleive which turned out to be Stoutes in disguise.
