St John Car Rental question??

Post by pipergal »

Hello all
First time renting with these folks, do they have a lot to park in? Thanks, also, we may night arrive until after 6pm (can pick up car) but I thought about waiting until the next day to pick it up, has anyone ever done this??? How would we get a cab from our villa in the am??? We are going try and fly standby on earlier flight, so hopefull (fingers crossed) we will arrive on STJ earlier and enjoy the better part of the day. TIA You guys rock!!!

We always rent from them. Yes, they do allow you to park in their lot when you're in Cruz Bay. But they close at 5:00 (at least that's what my paperwork says..) so you will have to get a taxi to your villa that day, unless you can make arrangements with your greeter.
Otherwise they open at 9 AM so you'd have to get a taxi from the villa back to Cruz Bay. Your villa will have numbers listed for taxis.
Have a great trip!! :D

We have used them our last two trips...yes, they had a lot (small) for parking while in town. Last year it looked like we might arrive after they closed (and we did); our villa greeter was able to pick up the keys for us, we picked up the jeep, and then we had to get back to town before noon the next day to fill out paper work. With all that help, the plan worked very well for us.

Edit: We were staying on Carolina Ridge near Coral Bay.

We used them and they were very nice. We never tried parking there (didn't occur to me the one time we went to town), but they let us stash our luggage there on our last morning so we could walk around unencumbered.

I have decided to rent from Courtesy for our next trip because they stay open until 6pm. St John Car's 5pm closing just has me worried that we might not get there on time. We're staying in Coral Bay so it would be hard to get back to town to get the car the next day. (I know we could take the bus, but I'd rather spend my first morning on a beach than a bus!)

Just have your villa greeter pick up the keys from them and then go back the next AM to do your paperwork.

No worries.
