Rental cars to St.John ??

Why won't Thrifty or Dollar allow their vehicles to St. John ? Because of the new law (that was recinded by governor) ? We have always used Budget,but prices are a little higher and they don't have larger jeep for my entourage. Have a reservation for a Nissan Pathfinder from Discount. We like to day...

They were not too picky this year, of course we had our bording passes printed ahead of time.
The first person to see us was the gate attendant and she was too busy scanning to care about size.
If it's too big to fit in carry-on,you can gate check it and save the $25 .
worked for us this year..

We like the Food Center- it is on the road to Red Hook-.
Easy in and nice compact store with all you need.
they have baggers that will bring your provisions to your car-
Good people.

I am used to swimming in the St.Lawrence River and nice cool Adirondack lakes !

The new parking lot at Red Hook won't be able to handle the cars.. taxi drivers all over the VIs are so happy now !!
The locals are screwing us for liking their paradise..

Are the taxi drivers behind this ?
We like to island hop and it must piss off the taxi drivers when my gang jumps in the car at Trunk.
They see $50 dollars going down the road.
It is the greedy taxis.
