Gumbsie Car Rental

Locally owned since 2006, with the largest fleet in this directory at more than 150 vehicles and the best arrival geography on the island: 2 minutes from the airport, 8 minutes from the ferry, with free pickup at both. From $40 a day.

Gumbsie Car Rental has been locally owned and operated since 2006, based in George Hill in The Valley, and it holds the best arrival geography of any operator in this directory. George Hill sits two minutes from Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport and eight minutes from the Blowing Point ferry terminal, which makes Gumbsie the only operator here that is genuinely close to both. Almost everyone else clusters around Airport Road, which is fine if you fly in and awkward if you arrive by boat, or sits down at the ferry, which is the reverse. Gumbsie is in the middle, and free pickup is included at both arrival points. The fleet, which is the largest here. More than 150 vehicles, running from economical compacts and family sedans through SUVs and passenger vans up to twelve seats. That scale is the practical argument for booking here. Most operators on this island run fleets in the teens or twenties, which means December through April and Carnival week commit the whole island and a late booking can mean no car at all. Depth of fleet also makes it more likely that the class you reserve is the class that turns up. Everything is modern, well maintained and automatic. Booking and reach. Reservations run through an online system with live availability and best available rates, and there are online-only offers worth checking before you call. A US toll-free reservations line and a UK line sit alongside the local office and cell numbers, which is unusual for an independent operator on this island and useful if you would rather sort the car out from home than trade emails. Daily, weekly and monthly rates are offered, along with long-term leasing for extended stays. Local knowledge is part of the service. The team are Anguillian and will point you at beaches, restaurants and the places that do not make the guidebooks, which is worth more on this island than it sounds. Anguilla is small, most of what is good is unsigned, and the difference between a decent week and a very good one is usually a recommendation. What is included and what is not. Free pickup at the airport and at Blowing Point. Delivery to your hotel, villa or private home is available on request, but it is a premium option rather than included, which is worth registering before you compare rates. Insurance is not in the rate either. Coverage is optional and the team explain the options at check-in, so ask for the numbers before you travel rather than deciding at the counter. Fuel is provided and the vehicle should come back at the same level, with a refuelling charge if it does not, and there is a fuel station right there in George Hill for the drop-off. A credit or debit card is required for payment and as security. Requirements. A temporary Anguillian driving licence is mandatory for every driver who does not hold an Anguillian one, and Gumbsie can arrange it on arrival. Bring a valid licence from home and a passport or photo ID. Hours. Gumbsie advertise 24-hour service every day of the week, while a third-party directory lists the office at 8am to 8pm. That most likely means late arrivals are handled by arrangement rather than by a counter staffed overnight. If your flight or ferry lands outside normal hours, say so when you book and get it confirmed.
