St. Thomas Day Car Rental?

[gamergirl]

Are there any Car Rental places in St. Thomas that will rent a car for the day?  I'm having trouble finding any and am wondering if this is not an option any more?

If not, how easy is it to find a taxi to Sapphire Beach?  What is the approximate cost for a family of 4  (2 adults/2 teens)?

 

Thanks!

We’ve only rented by the week so not sure…
A shared, safari-type taxi to Sapphire  would be $10 - $11/pp each way and taxis are easy to find at the port and for your return.

So unless you want to tour the island a rental probably wouldn’t be much cheaper…

I see several agencies around the ports, gave you called or emailed most of them already for availability and price?

There will be taxi's everywhere when you get off the ship. It would be so much easier to just grab one and go. Taking the time to rent a vehicle, signing the paperwork and so on will eat up a lot of your time if you're not planning on going anywhere but Sapphire. No worries, they know when the ships are in port and everyone will be waiting to take your money there and back. 🙂

Mitsugirly is correct, STT is just so easy to get around with drivers who do it all year. 
if you wanted to see Skyline Drive and Mountaintop or Drake’s Seat on your return a rental makes that much easier. But some drivers will offer to go that way for a “mini-tour” on the return to port for a nominal fee, and you can ask drivers who stop in to Sapphire if any are doing that…

The drivers and road conditions in St. Thomas are not for the faint of heart!

I disagree, but I’ve driven Tortola so…🙈

But the south drive to Red Hook and then Sapphire is pretty flat…

I just rented a car from Budget which says its at the port for next week.

Yes not sure where you are docked, but Budget has 3 locations, including Long Bay (Havensight/WICO) and Crown Bay.  WE’ve rented from their airport locations multiple times and have never had a problem with them…
