Car Rental
St. Maarten Deals on Wheels
By the Day, Week or Month?
Hassle-Free Options
There are literally dozens of car rentals in St. Maarten and, over the years, we’ve gotten to know, and try, most of them – why would a local use a car rental? Simple, when my car breaks down (as they often do in SXM due to the condition of the roads and the salty weather), there’s no such thing as a ‘day in the garage’ – it can take many days or a week and during that time I need an inexpensive rental to get around in – so, getting a good deal is important.
We”ll give you the run-down on:
- Hidden extras
- Insurance
- Weekly rates
- Monthly rates
- Best service
- Freebies
- Pick-up/ Drop-off
- SUV or compact?
- Rules of the road
It has been rumored that you can drive in St. Maarten without a seatbelt, beer in hand and one leg hanging out the window and no-one cares!!…..well, if you want to be irresponsible that’s one thing, but, just because you don’t get pulled over as often as you would in the US doesn’t mean there aren’t laws!
Also – if you’re doing a day-trip to another island such as Anguilla, St. Barths, or St. Kitts you will need to know certain things – how about driving on the other side of the road? Or, getting a temporary license? Or, what happens if you break down in a sugar cane field in St. Kitts and you’ve only got 30 minutes to get back to your cruise ship?
Insider tips and secrets will tell you all you need to know to make sure you’re ahead of the game. Including safety tips, how to secure your car and what hidden fees or ‘surprises’ you might get from certain car rentals – these tips alone will save you $$
