I tired to rent a car there in October 2019. I was arriving by cruise ship and was requesting a reservation weeks in advance. The rental company was very kind and gave me lots of information about the area, roads, driving time, etc.. I must have been on the phone with this extremely helpful agent for well over a half hour. After the lengthy conversation, I didn't reserve a car. Early September is the end of their tourist/visitor season. Many services are greatly cut back or eliminated at that time. I am a seasoned traveler and prefer independent experiences, but always consider safety first. Renting a car at this time of the, year, in this port with limited services, for me was not a wise choice especially given a strict ship's sailing time.
THis is a wonderful, welcoming port. There is a visitor center in the port terminal that you can contact in advance. When a ship comes in, the local people come out and make the port area like a festival for the entire day. I had a fantastic day surrounded by and mingling with the local people,
