I'm booked! Is a Last Minute Car Rental even possible??
Hello All,
I'm happily booked for my last minute weekend getaway, Feb 11-15, staying at Lavender Hill and now facing the expected crunch of trying to find a jeep rental, even if just for one or two days....I've called quite a few of the local agencies with no luck....any ideas? I might need some outside the box ideas, any locals who want to rent their vehicle??
I will make the most of things, but sure would like to show my bf some of the island that I know so well.....
Thanks so much for any and all ideas or advice! Drinks at Beach Bar for any finders fee? (haha!)

I will try to post something on Lavender Hill for you, I'm staying in 10E, so it should prove a reasonable comparison I would guess.....and, yes, very lucky on the jeep, thx to such helpful forumites! Every other rental place I called nearly laughed at me and just kept saying, it's February! (high season)....Can't wait, as I've just spent the past month in the snowy northeast, so feel deserving.

@ Sadams: yes, I will definitely post atleast some details on Lavender Hill....I'm usually a Coral Bay or Concordia girl, but I know I will enjoy the convenience of being in-town and merely walking to dining and bars.
I can't wait...even after living in the Carib for the better part of the past 2 years, there is just something so special about STJ....I hope my bf "gets it".
