Terms and Conditions
Eleuthera Drift Rentals

Welcome to Eleuthera Drift Rentals!

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of our car rental services and website (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Rental Requirements

  • You must be at least 25 years old to rent a vehicle.
  • You must possess a valid driver’s license from your home country.
  • You must have a valid credit card in your name to cover the rental charges and security deposit.

2. Reservations and Payment

  • Security deposits must be paid in order to reserve a vehicle.
  • Once security deposit has been made, you do not need to re-confirm the booking as it is already confirmed. If you have a question, feel free to reach out to us.
  • Our preferred method of payment is via credit card when making your online reservation on the website. An additional benefit of using a credit card for payment is that several major credit cards offer rental car insurance coverage which is great to supplement with the Third Party coverage that we offer, which is included in your rental car cost. Our payments are handled easily and securely via our website.
  • We accept all major credit cards, cash or direct deposits to the business account. We do not accept American Express or personal checks.
  • Please allow 15 to 30 business days for processing of security deposit refund

3. Vehicles and Availability

  • We offer a variety of vehicles to suit your needs.
  • We cannot guarantee the availability of a specific vehicle model.
  • We reserve the right to substitute a similar vehicle if your chosen vehicle is unavailable.

4. Rental Rates and Fees

  • Rental rates are based on the vehicle type and rental period.
  • Additional fees may apply for items such as child seats, roadside assistance, and additional drivers.

5. Insurance

  • All rental vehicles are covered with Third party insurance coverage. If you have a credit card that includes additional car rental insurance, it will be an additional benefit to use that credit card when paying for your rental. We provide the convenience of online payment via our website www.eleutheradriftcarrentals.com which accepts all major credit and debit cards. However, we do not accept American Express.

6. Driver Responsibility

  • You are responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe and lawful manner at all times.
  • We drive on the LEFT side of the road in the Bahamas. There is very little traffic on the road, but the roads are very curvy and hilly. Ensure that you are driving on the left side at all times and do not try to overtake a vehicle if you cannot see around a corner or over a hill.
  • Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited.
  • You are liable for any traffic violation incurred during the rental period.

7. Damage and Accidents

  • In the event of damage to the vehicle, you must report the incident to Eleuthera Drift Rentals immediately.
  • The renter will be charged if the vehicle is returned with any issues, as well as loss revenue for time of repairs.
  • The renter will also be charged for tire repair if tire was damaged while driving. There are several potholes on the roads on the island. If you were to fall into one driving at a high speed and bend the rim, this will result in a puncture to the tire which will become flat. The cost of tire repair can range from $25 for a plug to $75-100 for a new tire. This can be done via credit/debit card payment or cash. Please drive carefully.
  • There is a $150 fee for loss of hub caps and car mats. In other words, if 1 out of the 4 is missing from the set, the driver agrees to pay the fee for a complete set.
  • There is a $250 fee for any vehicle that is returned with scratches and/or dents. This fee will be added to the total cost of the rental, billed to the driver's credit card or payable in cash.
  • There is a $200.00 fee for lost keys. This amount will be billed to your credit card or must be paid in cash on or before the vehicle is returned.

8. Pick-up and Drop-off

  • We offer free pick-up and drop-off service from North Eleuthera Airport, Three Island Dock and Gene’s Bay Dock.

9. Fuel Policy

  • Vehicles must be returned on the same gas level as was rented. Failure to do so will result in a deduction of security deposit and in some cases, may require additional funds from the customer. This can be done via credit/debit card payment or cash.

10. Cancelation Policy


11. Late Returns

Vehicles must be returned at the agreed date and time. Late returns may result in additional charges, including but not limited to:

  • Additional daily rental charges
  • Loss-of-use charges if the late return affects another reservation
  • Administrative fees
  • Late returns beyond a reasonable grace period may be charged at a full daily rental rate per day or portion thereof.

Vehicles may only be operated on public, maintained roads. Off-road driving is strictly prohibited, including but not limited to:

  • Beaches
  • Trails or unpaved paths
  • Construction sites
  • Areas designated as restricted or unsafe

Any damage, mechanical issues, towing, or recovery costs resulting from off-road or unauthorized use will be the sole responsibility of the customer and are not limited to the amount of the deposit.


13. Cleaning Fee

  • Vehicles that are returned extremely dirty (i.e, beach sand, dirty seats, rugs/mats and ceiling) that may require detailing services will be billed to the renter's credit card or deducted from the deposit. Agents from Eleuthera Drift Rentals will use their discretion to determine what is extremely dirty.
