Toyota Rush / Daihatsu Terios

On a technical basis, The Rush and Terios are very similar. It introduces some great convenience features, such as keyless entry, along with a great safety design that includes an engine immobilizer, made to prevent theft. Other features to expect with the Rush may include a sound system with a CD player and TV display with DVD-playback capability. Power equipment includes steering, windows, and locks.

This category of mini SUVs is one of the most well-suited rental vehicles for St. Lucia’s somewhat rugged terrain. For those first-timers, this vehicle is a great selection and comes highly recommended. It is available in both 4-wheel drive and 2-wheel drive. While they both offer ground clearance, the 4wd is undoubtedly the better option.

It is more suited to the needs of adventurers and explorers. This option is also great for accessing remote beaches and accommodations with steep driveways or rough roads. It is a safe and reliable rental choice for confident driving while on the island. Just in case of a flat tyre, the spare mounted to the back gives the client peace of mind.

The Rush and Terios both seat up to five persons. However, a group of four is a much more comfortable fit. The trunk is large enough to accommodate four large suitcases but can ideally hold a little extra luggage once it is stacked correctly.
