Many large and small rental car agencies are also available at the airport and many other locations around the islands.

Additional Tourist Information

Most of Antigua is arid and dry, very much like a desert. This is because the island was a primary sugar cane producing nation and all the tropical forest where cut down to make room for more sugar cane fields. This resulted in the deforestation that has never recovered.
