Taxi
We are renting from budget right at STT and forgoing the taxi thing. Budget will let you take their cars onto STJ others like Avis and Hertz wont.
it costs $90 total to "charter" one of the taxis at the airport to take you directly to redhook. This is the published rate. We've done this both by ourselves, and with another couple, and the price didn't change. We only had carry on bags, and weren't charged for them.
The cost of sharing a taxi to red hook(either direct or making 500 stops on the way) always seems to vary from driver to driver, despite published rates. sometimes they charge you for your backpack, sometimes they don't. it's frustrating..... as is stopping at every resort in STT when packed in a hot taxi with 9 other people.
It's a lot of $$ to get your own, but to us after a usually frustrating USdespAIR flight that's always late, it's well worth it...
