Douglas–Charles Airport Guide

Melville Hall Airport is on the northeast coast of Dominica, near Marigot. It is one of only two airports that serve the island, the other being Canefield near Roseau. The Melville Hall area was chosen for the airport as it was one of the few areas on the island to offer an expansive area of flat land. The airport was opened on 22nd November, 1961. The airport is about one and a half hour's drive from the capital, Roseau and about one hour from the second-largest city, Portsmouth.

Dominca has been nicknamed 'the Nature Isle of the Caribbean' because of its natural beauty. The island has many beautiful lush rainforests that are home to many very rare species of plants, birds and animals.

Dominca has some famous attractions one of which is the Indian River in Portsmouth. This mangrove-lined river flows into the Glanville Swamp and is the ideal place for bird-watching. The river is a mix of salt and freshwater and is dominated by the Butressed Bwa Mang trees. Visitors can take trips along the river in a paddle boat, accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who will point out the local fauna and flora.

The Cabrits National Park is an 18th century garrison which was abandoned as a military post in 1854. Over time the forest has encroached on the garrison. In 1982 a partial restoration of the main fort, Fort Shirley, was carried out. The ruins of the batteries and the Commandant's House are still standing.

Car rentals are available at the airport and should be booked in advance. Hiring a car is the best way of touring the island and is less expensive than using taxis. It is advisable to have your own transport if you are going to some of the less accessible trails as, although local guides will accompany you on the hike, they will not take you to the start of the trail.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

 When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
