Natalia Posted March 10, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I have a few cars reserved with Arthur for our group of 12 people. Im concerned because I have 2 older ladies in my group who can not walk real long distances. Is Arthurs rental office close to the pier at all? If it is a bit of a walk, is it possible for a few of us to go get the cars and drive them a little closer to pick up the rest of the group... or will we all have to make the walk?

jdavidg Posted March 15, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Aurthers is just a few hundred yards from the front gate.The ladies can wait at the port gate while you go pick up the cars. Just turn right out the gate and follow the road around the bend Arthurs is on the left.It is a bit of a walk from the ship to the front gate. But they can take their time while you get the cars.

The Big Booper Posted March 15, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2006 How late is Arthur's open in the evening to return the car? All the places within the terminal close at 5 PM, a problem if you are staying later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teaka Posted March 18, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Hi there, I was surprised just how close Arthurs was to the Pier. He was nothing short of "GREAT". We rented 3 Jeeps and he even drove us back to the shopping area when we were done. I would highly recommend Arthurs to all. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfboat Posted March 18, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Arthur sounds great! My group wants to rent 2 jeeps from him. How do I contact him? How much is a jeep for the day? Do we need to get insurance? Thanks, Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texancruzer Posted March 18, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Always - always get insurance while driving in the islands !!!! While on Jamaica we were involved in a "little side swipe" when my Dad forgot to drive on the left.... He stewed and worried all week but then we only ended having to pay $50.00 deductable..... worth every penny ! And most US policies will not cover you there.... you can chec, but its not that much for peace of mind and we rent cars all over the place.

Jason's Storm Posted March 18, 2006 #8 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Are Arthur's prices set or do they vary sometimes? ~JS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natalia Posted March 18, 2006 Author #9 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Here is his website: http://www.arthurscarrental.com/index.htm And here is his email addy: info@arthurscarrental.com I have had several communications back and forth with him, he is a VERY nice man, very patient. Everyone else here has had nothing but good things to say about him after returning from St Maarten. Obviously, customer service is his priority. Im not sure if his prices are negotiable, you'd have to ask him. Rates probably vary with the seasons, like everything else down there. But no matter what wrench I threw into the equation, he worked out something for me (the # of people in my group as well as the types of vehicles I needed kept changing). I agree, take the extra insurance. I believe Arthur's ins. cost is $15 per vehicle in addition to the rental rate. I have rental coverage with my regular insurance here at home, but my agent told me a few years back to always take their insurance... it would be worth the few bucks spent for the hassle saved should you ever need it.
