The most convenient manner to navigate the Island are St. Thomas car rentals. Private cabs and public transportation do make the island accessible to those not wishing to use St. Thomas car rentals, though much of the freedom of the private stay is lost when calls need to be made to go anywhere. Sightseeing is something that can really only be done with a St. Thomas car rental as cabs are not usually amenable to waiting for hours.
A valid driver’s license is necessary for St. Thomas car rentals. Like companies in the States, St Thomas car rental companies will only rent to those 25 or older (unless an additional fee is paid per day, over the age of 21). Most of the major companies are represented for St. Thomas car rentals (Avis, Budget, Hertz, National) and all can be arranged through our dedicated concierge service. One aspect of St. Thomas car rentals that some guests find formidable is the left-side driving. Some St. Thomas car rentals have the steering wheel on the right-side of the car (British Style) to enable the left-side driving.
St. Thomas Car Rentals:
We highly recommend that clients access St. Thomas car rentals, as there is no reliable cab service between the villas and around the island. We recommend clients use one of the major car rental companies such as Budget (800.626.4516) or Hertz or National. A mid size car rental for a week’s rental runs approximately $320.00.
