I’m going to St. Martin for my honeymoon in a couple weeks! My wife and I have fresh U.S. passports, and hopefully my being Jewish doesn’t get me deported coming through customs on the way home. Rental car prices in St. Martin are reasonable, but the categories are a little different than the U.S.
We’re staying in an Airbnb (actually booked through TripAdvisor Flipkey because this property was cheaper there than Airbnb) in Grand Case, a little town on the French side of the island, that is supposedly “the gourmet capital of the Caribbean.” Not that we’re going to be inside too much, but it looks pretty ok.
AND IT HAS FREE PARKING.
We’re not going to be doing much driving, but we are thinking of doing a couple things in other parts of the island. It’d be like $60 just for the taxi rides to and from the airport, so with the free parking, might as well rent the Kia Picanto (or similar).
I was tempted to rent a Great Wall Wingle pickup because it has an awesome name and I’m genuinely curious what a Chinese pickup truck is like, but not curious enough to pay almost twice the cost of a Kia Picanto (or similar).
Also, Budget has a picture of a Suzuki Grand Vitara instead of a Daihatsu Terios. I’ve very disappointed with their lack of accuracy.
Fear not Oppo, for I will report back with a Rental Car Review of the Kia Picanto (or similar)!
