St Martin Car Rental About This Page:

Has anyone rented a car while they were in St Martin? Do I need to make arrangements prior to arrival or are there car rental agencies near port? I would appreciate any suggestions or experiences regarding touring the island by ourselves versus a Disney onshore tour.

I recommend that you do book ahead with an agency that has an office at the cruise pier. We've found that the rental rate for same day walk-ups is significantly higher than the book-ahead rate. Even if you do book ahead, be sure to bring print-outs of your reservation info and rate, and carefully scrutinize the rental agreement. If I hadn't been watching carefully I would have been charged the walk-up rate despite the reservation.
