Presidente is available in most places. Occasionally we've found Carib in cans (11 oz.:)) I believe I've also seen Redstripe, but I'm not a Redstripe fan.

Actually, I have found rates at many St. John agencies to be lower than those on St. Thomas (aside from Dependable) But they are all over the place on St. John..i found a 4 door Wrangler from $450 to $510 per week low season. But the higher price I found on St Thomas is offset by the taxi and lugga...

Getting overcharged to get crammed into a van with the added bonus of a nice sticky wad of gum on my daughters new jacket was the last straw for us. We've rented on STT every visit since.

I,and especially my wife value highly the hassle removal that an airport rental gives us.. to the point that it will effect future trip planning decisions. I'd like to start a poll to provide weight for letters/emails to the USVI tourism and motor vehicle departments. Anthony?

2W will get you a decent sunset view over Gallows and ZoZos as of last September. Must mention that LH had the best beach chairs, ever.

One of the first things we do on Island is grab a foot bucket at St. John Hardware. That and a gallon water jug and we're ready to beach for the week. Bucket is a villa donation when we leave.

Avis has an office at the BVI ferry dock in Charlotte Amalie, a little ways toward the airport from the downtown STJ Ferry. They should just head back towards Frenchman's, and take a left on 30 at the top of the hill past the cruise ships (instead of straight to Frenchman's). Follow 30 until it t's ...
