USVI-On-Line

Someone mentioned that they had rented one of these recently. I can't seem to find the thread again.
Could whoever it was post how it was for room, shape & parking.

We are seriouly considering renting one for May when we have 6 Adults.

Thanks

It was DuxDweller (see post above) regarding water taxi. I was curious about that too. Ali~

Hi Shopper. That may have been me. I have one reserved through Spencer's on STJ for next week. The picture shows a pickup with a canopy over the bed of the truck, and benches on both sides of the bed. I'll let youi know how it was when we get back at the end of the month.

I don't know where you're staying, but the driveways at some villas would be quite challenging (if not impossible) for a safari truck.

Bring rope or hand cuff the kids to the railing

Aaagh, so now I know what the handcuffs mentioned in the other thread are to be used for. Thanks for the clarification Rick. Ali~

Hey Rick,
I thought maybe you meant the handcuffs were for me Although they may not be a bad idea we may find other uses for them

DuxDweller- We actually chhecked them out when wre where there last month & they look the same as the normal Taxi's just a little smaller.
Let me know how it works out when you are back as we will have to reserve it pretty soon.

Have an awesome time

Hi,
Our group of 8 rented a safari truck last June. It was a hoot, did a lot of laughing. The only real problem was with 8 people the issue of where and when we were going for the day turned into a major discussion. Does everyone in your group like to do the same things? Not good for children. Where are you staying and what are the roads like to get there. The cab of the truck is a Chevy Canyon and it did have a lot of power as we were in Coral Bay area high up windy, steep roads. We rented from Denzil Cline. Need anymore help let me know.

This is for Dux Dweller:

Phew....I can't imagine doing the safari truck up to and down from to Vistaero but, maybe I'm just a wimp.

If you do it, be sure the kids sit in the middle and hold on tight; there are a lot of branches that you'll be going through. And very steep hairpin turns.

Could be a lot of fun!

Does anyone have a cost for renting one of these for a week (off season)? We are also going to have 6 adults this summer and I thought this would work great. I saw some folks rent one from Denzil when we were getting our jeep last year. So it sounds like Denzil and Spencer's has them - anybody else on island renting them?

Sleedog,

I priced them when we were down in Jan. & they were going to be $540 a week in low season. The best price I found was at Cool Breeze Car rental.

I know that Conrad Sutton also has them.

I think one of these would be so much better for a group of adults. Can;t wait to rent it.

I just can't see my self tied down to what 6 other people I like to be up and out.

I picture Woody and Larry in the cab with you and the girls drinking cocktails in the back!

Funny memory, eight adults in a jitney in the Starfish parking lot trying to get all of their groceries, more than half rum and beer, in the truck with all of the people. Everyone ended up with bags stacked in their laps. They were hammered, it was hilarious.

Cheers, RickG

You are close, it will be Woody but not Larry, my brother is the other brave driver. Larry will be tending the bar for his girls the back

Funny sight I am sure. That may just end up being the case at some point thru out the 10 days

Cheers

I want video!! I took some of y'all at Woody's one night but it turned out surreal - people's eyes looked like they were different sizes. Maybe it was an asymmetrical squint?!
