Would a car rental for the entire time be worth it, or should we only rent it for a few of the days? Also, I've read a lot about Stoutes in this thread - is this still the most recommended car rental option?
- We have Verizon cell phone service in the US - how do cell phones/GPS work in Barbados?

4. Roaming charges can be costly, so its better to get a local SIM card. It will cost you about $2.50 US.
Does anyone else have any more input on these two questions? Our trip is coming up in a month and I'm still curious how US-based Verizon service with iPhone 5's (phone/data/GPS) will work in Barbados...?
Also wondering what anyone's recommendation would be for a rental car (both the length of time to have one, and who to get it with/how to book). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
