We are leaving for STJ in three weeks. Have been trying in vain to rent a jeep or something similar that can take the roads. I guess its because of carnival. Can anyone suggest anything .? the place we are staying suggests Coutesy Car Rental { in STJ} Do you think we will be able to rent anything when we actually get there. We are planning to take a ferry ride over to STT on Wed.April 23 and Sat April 26. I dont think we will be able to afford a rental car for 10 days AND a boat trip to BVI. Any input would be great especially from someone who lives on either island. Thanks! am excited about our trip.
I would try the airport rental agencies and take the car barge. Dependable (www.dependablecar.com) and Discount (www.discountcar.vi) are cheaper because they are a short distance from the airport and will pick you at the airport. Budget and Thrifty also allow you to take rental cars. Make certain that you get a confirmation number.
Have you tried your villa rental agency? They may be able to hook you up.
Good luck. We book 6-9 months in advance.
Cheers, RickG
You really need to rent in advance - and call now and I would take anything they have left.
Taxi's charge per person not per trip so they add up very quickly (ie: it would be $48.00 from Cruz Bay to Trunk roundtrip for 4 people) and if you want to go to 2 different beaches per day or 1 beach then out to dinner think $$$$$ Also if you are renting a villa, alot of taxi's will not pick up/drop off at villas because of the roads.
Good luck and let me know if you need a list of the car rental agencies on STJ.

Did you try hotwire? I find them to be cheapest. They always rent to me through Avis. www.hotwire.com
Can anybody tell me if Avis is "inside" the airport or not.
Inside the airport
Try giving Roosevelt a call on Monday
Sunday is not a big business day
His place is in Cruz Bay up the hill passed St Ursala Church
Good Guy - Smaller operation but he has always been good to us
no website and the area code is 340
Local call on AT&T phones
Good Luck
