Rental Car Situation

[Greenskeeper]

I forgot to book our rental car. No excuses, I just totally forgot. If it wasn't for a change in our flights, I probably never would have remembered.

This afternoon I emailed Conrad Sutton, no cars available. I've tried calling a few places tonight which are all closed.

Help. Any place that is more likely to have a vehicle over another. I am freaking out.

Try Dependable on STT. Not sure when you're due to arrive, but good luck!

Do you have Pia's list? I'd start at the top and work my way down. If that doesn't work, try Dependable on STT and take the car barge.

Good luck!

Hi Jim,
Thanks. I'll try them. We don't go till February but it's President's Week and I'm having visions of every car on the island being rented.

Thanks.
I don't know what's happened to me. I used to be an overplanner and now, I just go with the flow. In this case, too much so.

Already on Island Time...! I love it!!! I've been a growing fan of Dependable for the past few trips.
You'll be fine, keep us updated!

Another good car comapny is Amalie Car Company on STT. That is who we always rent from. Very nice husband/wife that own it. Here is their website:

Good luck

Thank you so much everyone! Your information, a couple glasses of wine and the realization the NE Patriots were in worse trouble than I was, made me feel better last night.

I dialed my fingers off this morning and a few phone calls in I found a Jeep Liberty at L&L.

GREAT! I arrived on STJ a year ago today for my first trip, and had only thought about the rental car one week prior to leaving. Needless to say, I was going through the same anxiety as you. It also turned out fine, when I found a car at Bougainvillea, but that was after calling about 8 different places, all of which were sold out. OY!

I think you'll like working with Levi and Kurt. They have always been great. Unfortunately they were out of Wranglers for this years trip as I also procrastinated on the Jeep procurement.

[Greenskeeper]

Looks like I'm in good company! LOL

I just got a call from Carmen at Conrad Sutton that they found something for us too!

Getting good island vibes already!
