Cruising to Retirement Posted October 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Will be in St. Maarten on Jan. 12th, we rented a car there last year near the port but can't remember the name of the Company. They were right across from the port exit. Or if anyone has any other ideas for Car Rentals- Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagmom Posted December 21, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 21, 2023 We will be using Coastal Car Rental in January. It was less expensive than Hertz, and right by the cruise port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their office is located right outside the cruise port entrance (in the parking lot area). Excellent communication and a good price. We prepaid the minimum deposit, and then paid the balance when we picked up the car. They put a $500 hold on your credit card to cover possible damages. When we returned the car in the afternoon, they were not in the office but there was a key drop. We made sure to photograph all sides of the car before we returned to ship, in case any damage happened in the parking lot. Our $500 credit card hold was released by the next day.

flagmom Posted February 13 #6 Share Posted February 13 Forgot to mention something else regarding driving on this island: the roads are narrow and lacking in signage. It was a good thing that we downloaded an offline map in the google maps app so we could get around without using cellular data roaming. Also, they drive a lot of motorcycles, very fast, and often right down the center of the highway even though there are cars in both lanes already! They zoom up from behind you so quickly that you don’t realize they’re there until they are inches from your driver’s door. A little nerve-racking. Just be aware.
