What's with the issue of renting a car in St. Lucia if you're over 65? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> Some agencies will not, and others will with a doctor's note saying you're competent. My Dr. laughed at me! Anyone have any referrals? Thanks.

I think they are afraid you will have a heart attack. The drivers are seriously crazy there! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
Seriously, in the Caribbean, 65 is considered old. Most people retire years before. Health care is rationed, for example, no hemodialysis after a certain age. It is a fairly ageist culture.

In that case, I have met a lot of taxi drivers looking older than their years... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Some car rentals in St Lucia and St John VI limit the rentals to people under 65.
Probably has to do with insurance.
