How we handle the information you share with us when you compare car hire offers in Barbados.
Barbados4U has been a resource for visitors finding their way around Barbados since 2000. Today the site works as a comparison service: we bring together live car hire offers from trusted Bajan and international suppliers so you can see real prices and honest conditions before you complete a booking on a supplier's own platform. We are not a car hire company ourselves - we do not hold a fleet and we do not run the pickup counters. This policy explains what happens to your information when you use barbados4u.com.
When you use the search widget to compare offers - for example for pickup at Grantley Adams Airport (BGI), Bridgetown, or the West or South Coast - we may collect the pickup and drop-off locations you enter, your travel dates, and basic technical information such as your browser type and approximate location, used only to show relevant results. If you fill in the contact form, we collect your name, email address and the content of your message so that we can reply.
We do not ask for driving licence numbers, passport details or payment card information on this site. Those details, where required, are collected later by the supplier directly, once you continue through to their own booking process.
We use the details you provide to display comparison results, to respond to enquiries sent through our contact form, and to understand which pages and searches are most useful, so we can keep our island coverage accurate - from the airport to Bridgetown, the west coast towns of Holetown and Speightstown, and the south coast around Hastings and Oistins. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Like most websites, we use cookies to remember basic preferences, such as your currency setting, and to understand overall traffic patterns. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the comparison widget may not work as smoothly without them.
When you choose to continue with a particular offer, the search details you entered (locations, dates, vehicle category) are passed along so the relevant supplier can prepare a quote. From that point, the supplier's own privacy practices apply to any further information you give them, including for the visitor driving permit arranged at pickup and any insurance or excess details attached to their offer.
We keep contact form enquiries and basic search logs only as long as reasonably needed to answer questions and to keep our comparison engine useful, after which they are deleted or anonymised.
You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by writing to us at the details below. We will respond as promptly as we reasonably can.
Questions about this policy can be sent to Barbados4U, Hastings Main Road, Christ Church, Barbados, or by email to [email protected]. You can also use our contact page. For the terms that apply to using this site, see our terms and conditions.
We may update this policy from time to time as our comparison service evolves. Any changes will be posted on this page.
