At this late date I think you need to start calling EVERYONE yesterday and work your way through the companies. My brother-in-law is coming mid March and he called 6 companies and there is nothing available for when he is here (he quit after #6 and decided to just taxi it everywhere as he is staying in town and only for 3 days) Good luck.

thanks - my husband just got a car at the airport so we'll do the car barge. Thanks to all the threads on this issue!

Hello V.I. visitors!

Your posts on the St. John car rental shortage caught my attention -- this is a chronic problem there during high season, and I'm a reporter at a Virgin Islands newspaper working on a story on the issue. It's critical to have a tourist's voice in the article, which hopefully will draw public attention to improving the situation! If you're willing to talk about the frustration of hunting for a rental car, please give me a call Friday at my office: 340.774.8772, ext. 311. You may also e-mail me at [email protected]. Thanks in advance for your help!

Geez who needs MORE rental cars on St. John. Shouldnt it be sort of self limiting?
