krisko Posted March 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I know St Maarten fairly well and I'd like to get a beach buggy or car when I'm there in 2 weeks. I know car rentals near the airport are $20 but I think they're more near the port. Is there a place I can reserve online or I should walk to that's close to port? Thanks!

What time of year and how far from port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisko Posted March 26, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Right next to the airport which is a 10 minutes or worse drive depending upon traffic. I know I could get a cab there and back but that makes the $20 rental car about $50 with cabs and is more hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $20 dollars that might be worth it. We rented at the pier and paid over $90 a day in the winter with many ships in and pay $125-$150 in the summer for a week near the airport.

lmsdf Posted March 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) Last summer, we used Hertz. It was about $50 for the day. It was nice to have our own car and view the island at our own pace. Just make sure you know what you want to do. We reserved our car in advance. Very easy to do. Edited March 26, 2016 by lmsdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that price I don't think it's worth even bussing to an airport rental location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
