USVI-On-Line

We are going to be a party of 7. Our friends vacationing with us are from out of the country (Kuwait).

Before making Jeep ressies, they had requested that I book a 7 passenger vehicle for all of us.

Because I know better then to do this, I suggested that we have two vehicles to have more flexibility.

So now they want to know if our daughter whom is 21 will be driving. I know that not only is she not the required age of 25, but I also know that there is not a snow flakes chance in H*LL to get her behind the wheel on those roads.

So guess who that leaves to drive the second vehicle?

I DON'T THINK I CAN DO IT PEOPLE!

Does anyone know the particulars of someone from out of the country renting a Jeep on St. John? What about an international driver's license?

I've emailed L&L (where we always rent) but have gotten no response.

Knowledge appreciated here! Thanks!!!

I read it somewhere. I am guessing on one of the rental companies' pages since I've been on the great jeep hunt of 2009 lately.

I think if you are staying only a certain number of days you don't have to do anything special. But I might be lying. Let me see if I can find what I read and post it here.

That was quicker than I thought. I am copying what I found. Looks like they can drive if they'd like.

This is from VisitStJohn.com under "getting around." I know this is probably a competing site so I am apologizing now, but I'd rather apologize than plagiarize.

If you prefer the convenience, flexibility, and freedom of a car, one day and longer rentals are available. If you decide to utilize a car, please remember that the only gasoline stations are in Cruz Bay. So be sure to keep the tank filled. Public parking in Cruz Bay is tight.When touring the small, 19 square mile, St. John, we recommend not trying to do too much in one day. St. John's smallness is somewhat deceptive. There are a lot of "nooks and crannies" to explore. If you are looking for great views, the best ones are found along the Center Line Road and toward Annaberg Plantation. Allow yourself at least two full days to enjoy the island's entire beauty.

Please remember to drive on the left side of the road and beware that pedestrians and livestock all have the right of way. There is a seatbelt law. Non-US citizens do not require an international drivers license.

Dang girl, that was quick! Thanks Lulu!

lulu...there is a gas station in Coral Bay also.

Yeah, the person I have stolen that from apparently didn't remember that part. Just ignore that, unless you don't have cash. Then Cruz Bay's for you!

I hear the seat belt law is enforced, but none of the other laws and when I saw other, I mean the rest
