Would like to book an automatic rental duck tours boston car for 4 people for 1 day near the cruise terminal where our Princess ship will dock in December for 1 day. IIRC, they drive American style, correct? We want to go to Orient Beach and Marigot. Any suggestions of good agencies? Thanks!
I don't think there are any car rentals near the terminal - I could be wrong....probably better off to hire a taxi that will take you wherever you want to go - and they will stay with you for the day.....the rental cars are near the airport - and I don't suggest you go there to rent one.....would be costly - plus the bridge could go up and traffic duck tours boston gets real slow.....
There is at least one car rental office near the cruise ship terminal, but DEFINITELY take a taxi. The driver, if required, will stay with you all day, and will know every pothole in the road, and - more importantly - where to park in Marigot, so that you don't waste time searching for a space yourself !
He will probably duck tours boston deliver you to Bikini Beach, which is in the center of Orient Bay - if not, ask him to do so. It is also handy for the small shopping area at pretty Orient Village where there are also a variety duck tours boston of restaurants, if you don't want to eat lunch with your 'toes in the water'.
DavidSXM...my point about a bridge opening was if they drive to the airport to rent a car. I did not realize there is a car rental company near the cruise ship port. Finally - you and I agree on something - take a taxi! That said - they've dropped duck tours boston me off at Kakao's more than Bikini Beach.
MOST of the taxis go to Bikini Beach (my local pub) partly because it is marginally more central than Kakao, but more likely because the owner (who had her 53rd birthday yesterday !) offers all the taxi drivers from the larger of the two companies (the guys in the ORANGE duck tours boston shirts) operating from the cruise ship dock, a free Thanksgiving Dinner with their wives / girlfriends etc. every year, and cheap drinks all the year round - I just wish she would do the same for me !
We are coming to St. Maarten on a cruise and need to get to a marina 15-20 minutes from port then wanted to go do the tree thing at Loterie Farm. There are 7 of us total. Would you still take a taxi to get everyone around or rent? I have read some nerve racking stories duck tours boston of car rentals duck tours boston on here and wonder if I should expect a bad experience, but because of the number of people to get around and the places, I thought it might be more prudent to rent. What would you advise?
It would probably cost less to hire a taxi for the entire day than renting 2 cars, would save the check out and check in time if you were to rent, and would be far less hassle. I suspect that the price might be a bit negotiable with the taxi despatcher.
Added plusses will be that the driver will know exactly where you want to go, will be aware of the bridge duck tours boston opening times, road works / diversions and possible road closures. He will also be able to park the vehicle more easily than you could 2 rental cars.
