You land at Pointe-a-Pitre Airport (PTP) and want to explore Pointe-a-Pitre and the Caribbean island paradise Guadeloupe by rental car? Then you are making a good decision if you rent your car at the airport from home at one of the more than ten car rental companies at Pointe-a-Pitre Airport, so that you are not suddenly without a vehicle during the main holiday season. Compare with MietwagenCheck the offers of all car rental companies at Pointe-a-Pitre Airport and book your rental car conveniently online in no time and start straight after your arrival to a paradisiacal vacation.
Depending on the car rental company you have chosen at Pointe-a-Pitre Airport (PTP), you will either find their car rental counters in the area of the arrival terminal or you will be picked up by a car rental employee at the airport and driven to the office or you can pick up your rental car right at the airport.
As at all other airports in the Caribbean, you will find a number of internationally operating car rental companies in Guadeloupe, so you will not only benefit from a wide range of services, but also from multilingual staff. Below we have listed the car rental companies where you can rent a car at Pointe-a-Pitre Airport:
If, exceptionally, your rental car has not been handed over to you with a full tank, you do not have to drive far from the airport to reach a gas station. The nearest gas station is the Esso gas station on the N11 or the station-service TOTAL Dothémare on the N5, whereby you should consider that most gas stations on the island are not open around the clock.
Due to its ideal geographical location, from Pointe-a-Pitre airport you can reach not only the city center in 12 minutes driving time, but also the most beautiful beach areas of the island in less than an hour. If you don't want to leave for your hotel right away, but want to recover from your long-haul flight in the city center first, then you can familiarize yourself with the culture and history of the island right after your arrival in one of the many museums of the city, such as the Memorial Acte (audio guides available), the Musee Schoelcher or the Musée Saint-John Perse. However, a visit to the Church of Saint Pierre Saint Paul or the Place de la Victoire are also worth a detour by rental car to familiarize yourself with driving on the island. Below we have provided you with some mileage so that you can get a better idea of the island if this is your first time in Guadeloupe.
| Destination | Distance from Airport PTP | Travel time |
|---|---|---|
| Pointe-a-Pitre city center | 6,7 km | 12 min |
| Rifflet | 38,4 km | 42 min |
| Vieux-Fort | 58,4 km | 61 min |
| Anse-Bertrand | 30,1 km | 36 h |
| Saint-François | 33,4 km | 42 min |
If you don't want to leave right away with your rental car from the airport, you can also take one of the buses that run regularly from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., which will take you to the city center in just over 20 minutes. Of course, cabs are also available at the airport, with which you can quickly reach the city, although you should plan on a fare of just over ten euros. Both stops are located outside the terminal building.
The airport Pointe-a-Pitre cannot be called particularly large, with a passenger handling of a little more than 2.2 million travelers, but you will find all the usual services at an airport, so that you can eat a little something or quickly buy a souvenir or two.
Dream beaches, crystal clear, warm water, an intact underwater world and Caribbean joie de vivre await you on the butterfly-shaped island of Guadeloupe, which is only 1,628 km2 in size and has so far been spared from mass tourism. However, in order to explore the most beautiful corners of this Caribbean paradise on your own, it is advisable to rent a car, as your mobility with public transport is limited.
If you have chosen Pointe-a-Pitre as a starting point for your undertakings, then you have made a good choice, since you can set off with your rental car for various round trips on the somewhat larger island area of Basse Terre to the left or the somewhat smaller island area of Grande Terre to the right via the various roads leading along the coast.
Especially worth seeing are the many different bays, the waterfalls Carbet Falls and Cascade aux Ecrevisses in the interior, the Pointe des Chateaux (Saint Francois) or you take a detour to the volcano of the island and go on a walk through the impressive rainforest and be rewarded with the view over the island.
Our tip: With a small car you are mobile and can still find a shady parking spot even in the most remote corners of the island.

If you want to explore other islands in the Caribbean from Guadeloupe, you can take a ferry to the other islands. On the spot you will receive information about a ferry that connects the island of Guadeloupe with the neighboring islands of Dominica, Martinique and St. Lucia. Be sure to check the exact departure times beforehand, as they only run a few times a week due to the season.
Please note that the ferry is not designed to carry vehicles. So if you want to stay longer on one of the neighboring islands, it is worthwhile to rent another vehicle on site.
