Offered by Villas of Distinction and the Barbados Tourism Authority, the Barbados Free Car Rental Program is back. With this promotion, a customer receives a free car rental when booking a villa at Barbados’ Villas of Distinction by March 15.

“This is the third year in a row that we have partnered with the Barbados Tourism Authority to provide our clients with this amazing offer,” said Karen Reynolds, customer care director for Villas of Distinction. “As long as the program is popular with our clients, we will continue to bring it back. ...”

Once the booking is complete, a member of Villas of Distinction’s concierge team will confirm the free car rental — the vehicle will be delivered to the villa upon arrival.

The program is valid on all Villas of Distinction Barbados properties for reservations made by March 15, 2014, on travel now through Dec. 19, 2014.

To make a reservation at Villas of Distinction, customers can visit VillasofDistinction.com or call 1-800-289-0900 and use the code BDS-DRIVE14 at booking, says the company.
