Does anyone have any information on Jitney rentals in St. Thomas? We are looking to rent in St. Thomas and taking the car barge over to St. John. I can't seem to find one available on STT, only on St. John.
Jitney?!?
jit·ney ( P ) Pronunciation Key (jtn)
n. pl. jit·neys
A small motor vehicle, such as a bus or van, that transports passengers on a route for a small fare
You mean a taxi? Or do you want to rent a car? If you want to rent a car, all are gone now because of Carnival. Taxi is your best bet. And there are plenty of those.
Hello ~
Marty, She wants to rent what the taxi drivers use; what we call a safari bus.
Suzen, I've seen where a rental car agency on St. John has one of the smaller 14 passenger jitney or safari buses for rent - likely the same one you said you found. I've not seen anything similar on St. Thomas; I thought Budget had one but I looked on their website and didn't see it.
Anyone else?

Yes, I mean we want to rent one of the jitney's (looks like a lot of the taxi's on St. John). It is a pickup with seats in the back and a canapy. We have rented them in St. John in the past at Spencers. It would be easier and less expensive for us to load up once in STT and take the car ferry over. We could also buy supplies more readily too.
