momme224 Posted January 24, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Looking to rent a car when we are in Philipsburg. Want to make this smooth and easy. Can anyone recommend a company that is right near the port and will get us in and out so we can go about our day :) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted January 24, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Coastal has location at cruise terminal, and are reliable and reasonably priced. I suggest you reserve in advance to expedite and make sure the model you want is available - especially if there will be a number of ships in port with you.

Ski Mom 2 Posted January 24, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 24, 2017 We rented from Hertz at the airport since we were on the island for one week prior to our cruise. We did drop the car at their site at the cruise dock. We had a good experience with Hertz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted February 22, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 22, 2017 How hard is it to find parking in different areas (beaches, etc.)? Is there a fee? Parking can be difficult in Philipsburg and Marigot. Other than that this island is easily drivable with good roads and driving on the right. I We never had to pay to park anywhere.

cruisingbooboo Posted April 5, 2017 #15 Share Posted April 5, 2017 We have a reservation at Hertz for May. Under $50 at the port. Is that with taxes and insurance? Do I need to bring any paperwork from the states to rent? What kind of car did you rent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually taxes and a $15 port charge and it's $59. Toyota Corolla. My insurance policy covers us for rental cars so I didn't get any additional coverage.
