moondoggie Posted March 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Just priced this rental for a single day in STM--we are two couples, and figured renting a car at the pier would be more cost effective than cabbing the three places we wanted to go (Maho-Orient-Marigot). But Hertz quoted us $86 plus gas used--seems very high. I emailed Coastal via their website several times and have not received an answer for four days. Any other places you all might recommend? We'd like to pick up at the pier. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD06 Posted March 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 6, 2013 First, I would say be patient with Coastal. It took them a little while, but they did get back to me after waiting a few days. Second, I couldn't justify that high a price for a rental car, but that's just my opinion. Taxis were readily available at the cruise terminal and at Orient for a return, plus you can arrange for your driver to return at a specific time. Go to taxistmaarten.com if you want to look at rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondoggie Posted March 6, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted March 6, 2013 It's been nearly a week, and I've emailed twice. Maybe they are on vacation! We have been to STM about six times, so the rental makes more sense for us four, as we want to visit several places. Also, my DH sometimes tires easily, so I want to be able to shuttle him back to the ship quickly if necessary. Please tell me about your Coastal experience--thanks!

We rent a Corolla for a week for $150 or less in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
