How it works

Book a car rental in three steps

Bahamiantraveler.com is where you book the reservation. Each driver must still meet the rental company’s requirements to pick up the car — typically a valid Non-US driver’s license, passport, and deposit rules that may include debit or credit cards depending on the location.

  1. Search your trip

    Enter pickup and return locations, dates, and driver age, then search available cars.

  2. Choose prepaid or pay at counter

    Compare Alamo, National, and Enterprise rates. Pay now or pay when you collect — and redeem BT Rewards when eligible.

  3. Pick up with the right documents

    Arrive with the required ID and payment method for that branch. Review debit-card and document rules before you travel.
