Becca's description of driving in St Lucia is about right, although I
would have added the word "steep" someplace. And some side rodes may be
in very rough condition. If you don't feel confident to handle these
conditions, by all means, avoid renting a car.
However, I drove in St Lucia and fond it no worse that several other
places I've driven. If you do drive, have a good map; road signs in most
areas are [were] NOT up to USA standards.
