Review
Y&R Car Rentals is a family owned car hire company based in the South of Grenada. It has an office at Point Salines Airport and one at the Coyaba Hotel on Grand Anse beach. In business since 1985, it is one of the largest car rental companies on the island and has around 35 vehicles. In addition to a fleet of air-conditioned cars, they have Jeeps, SUVs and some minibuses. Y & R are known for friendly and reliable service and they deliver their cars on time.

The main Y & R office for rentals is at the Airport (manned daily from 7.30 am until 9pm), so if you know your way around the island then you might want to pick up your vehicle on arrival. However the company is happy to deliver a car to you at your accommodation (they know the location of all the villas and hotels) or at your marina if you have arrived by yacht. While you are completing the rental formalities they will also issue your local driving licence (cost EC$30 on presentation of your driving licence from home). At the end of your holiday Y & R is happy to collect from your accommodation too, or for your vehicle to be returned at their airport office on departure.

There is an out of hours telephone number in case of emergencies.

Y&R takes its name from its two owners, mother and son team Yolande and Richard Fleming, who set up in business with just two cars in 1985. Since then they have turned Y & R into one the largest car rental companies in Grenada. They now have over 35 vehicles and seven staff. Key faces you might meet are Shawne Courtney, who has been with the company since 1996 and Floyd Frazier, who has worked with them since 1998. Andy Henry has been with Y & R since 2002.

All rates are quoted in US$ and are subject to 5% Government tax so bear this in mind when comparing rates with other companies. A local driving permit (US$12) is obligatory for each driver and will be issued by Y & R Car Rentals when you take over your vehicle. Collision Damage Waiver is optional at US$15 per day, although some credit cards provide extra coverage if the credit card is used to charge the rental, so please check with your credit card company first.  All rates/car types are subject to change without notice

Delivery
Y&R Car Rentals Grenada offer free airport and hotel or villa pickup and a 7 day, 24 hour service.

You get a free Road Map with each rental.

If you know your way around Grenada, you may wish to collect your car at Y&R's airport office. If not the company will deliver the car to you at the time specified. It is probably best to return your car to the airport on departure as this will save you a taxi fare, but the company will collect from your accommodation if this is more convenient for you.
