Blue Splash Car Rental

Daily rates at Blue Splash Car Rental often start around $65

Figure roughly $65–$80 per day for a compact at Blue Splash Car Rental, serving Exuma International Airport (GGT, Terminal T1). This is one of the small local operators that focuses on airport pickups, so you’re not dealing with a big-brand counter in the terminal. Book ahead online or by phone; walk-up availability swings a lot on busy winter weekends and around March spring-break traffic.

Terminal T1 at GGT is small, and Blue Splash usually meets arriving passengers just outside the arrivals area within about 5–10 minutes of landing. You won’t see a row of desks like in larger airports; instead, staff bring paperwork and keys to you or direct you to a nearby parking area a short walk from the terminal. Plan on about 20–30 minutes from exiting customs to driving off, depending on lines and how many flights hit at once.

Most rentals here are basic compacts and small SUVs with automatic transmission, air conditioning, and unlimited island mileage. Fuel policy is typically “same to same,” and gas on Great Exuma currently runs in the $6–$7 per gallon range, so top off before heading back to the airport. Check in advance if you want extras like a child seat; stocks are limited and can go fast on weekends.

Returning the car usually means meeting a Blue Splash agent at T1 departures about 90 minutes before your flight, then doing a quick walk-around and handing over keys. There isn’t a big dedicated return lane; cars often get left in a marked corner of the public lot just outside the terminal. Build in a 10–15 minute buffer at drop-off so you’re not compressing check-in and security.

Step-by-step: renting with Blue Splash Car Rental at GGT

• 1. Reserve online or by phone at least 3–5 days before arrival, longer for December–April.
• 2. Land at Exuma International (T1), clear immigration and customs, then exit to the curb area outside arrivals.
• 3. Look for the Blue Splash contact or vehicle within about 5–10 minutes; call the office number on your confirmation if you don’t see them.
• 4. Review the contract, confirm daily rate and insurance, and walk around the car taking date-stamped photos of all sides.
• 5. Drive on the left, keep an eye on fuel, and note the nearest gas station to the airport on day one.
• 6. On departure day, arrive at the airport parking area about 90 minutes before your flight; meet the agent and complete the return check.
• 7. Keep your final receipt; it’s useful if you need to question any fuel or damage charges later.

One last tip: take a quick photo of the odometer and fuel gauge when you first get the keys at GGT—helps settle any debates at return in under 60 seconds.
