Car Rental- St Thomas

Does anyone have any experience with renting a vehicle here? My husband was part of the Hurricane restoration with his KY National Guard Unit and wants to show us around the island where he spent nearly 2 months assisting the locals with the clean up.  🙂 TIA

We rented from Budget in February. It was $65 for the day. We were on NCL at Havensight dock. Budget office was right there past the gate.  Our reservation was for a Jeep Wrangler but they said they don't have those anymore. It was a Ford Escape. Pretty beat up so make sure you really inspect before. We made notes of things not on damage list. It was great. Easy to drive on left side of road. Just pay attention. Will say signs are bad or non-existent. My GPS had USVI on it and that helped. We went around entire island and stopped at many points of interest and beaches. Tour buses would stop at same road turn outs with 50 people piling out and they kept getting asked if we lived there. Their tour on open buses were $60 pp and we had car for 2 for that price. Roads are really curvy and blind corners so you just have to be smart. Hardest part was pulling in and out of drives into gas station etc. kept going to right side of driveway. We stopped at Saphire beach for few hours and That was great and drove by some nice homes. Think filled gas for about $12. It was a great day.

There's also an Avis at the Havensight dock.
