St. Barts Car Rental

[jagoffee]

I will be stopping in St. Barts in Feb. 2007 and I am interested in renting a car or Jeep. Does anyone have any good or bad experiences with rentals?

Thanks.

I'll be there as well on the Regatta. We are thinking that renting a car would be the best way to see the island.

Hello,

 

A car is a good way. Depending on the size of your group so the ability to have everyone fit... go for a small vechicle. The roads there are very narrow and parking spots are too.

Renting a car is a great way to see the Island. We rented a 4 x 4 and getting around was very easy. I would highly recommend doing this.

We LOVE St. Barts. We rented a car - four of us. We had a blast in it. Easy place to get around. Maybe you'll see David Letterman - he has a home there. :)

What company did you use for your car rental? Would you use them again?

Wow, I can't remember the name of the co. But we got off the tender, there was a nice walk way along this little bay, in front of several restaurants and the rental place was right on the other side of the very small bay. We walked to it. They were great.

We rented a car in St. Barths in December, 2004 through the independent travel option offered by the Oceania Regatta shore excursion department. They worked with Budget at the time. I think the cost was about $100 for the day, which included pickup from the tender location, insurance, and gasoline. I'm not sure if they still offer this package, or what the current cost is. You may be able to do a little better on your own, but the convenience may be worth a few dollars more. I definitely agree that renting a car is the way to see St. Barths.
