The best car rentals in Gustavia are the small ones because they are ideal for navigating the island’s narrow roads and easier to park. Average SUVs will look quite out of place on the island. The popular car options for navigating St. Barts include Kia Picanto, Jeep Wrangler, Hyundai Accent, Mini Cooper, Renault Duster, Suzuki Jimny, and Mini Moke. Most Gustavia car rentals are automatic transmissions, but you can request a manual transmission if you prefer this and are comfortable navigating steep hills in it.
The maximum speed allowed in Gustavia is 50kph (30mph). If you are not used to driving on the right side of the road or narrow roads, stick to 30kph (20mph). This might seem too slow, but it matches the overall slow pace of living and simple life on the island. Moreover, it fits the steep, cliff-hanging, narrow winding roads on which you are driving. Tailgating motorbikes and scooters might push you to speed up but ignore them and stick to the speed limit. The roads in Gustavia are made of concrete, so they are slippery when wet. Adjust your speed when it rains to avoid causing a deadly accident.
Most villa rentals and hotels will have free parking. In Gustavia and tourist spots, you will park in paid parking lots and street parking. In most places, you need a blue disk indicating your arrival time when parking. You can only park for ninety minutes. When parking on the road, ensure you pull in your rear-view mirrors, so they are not shorn off by other vehicles and scooters on the narrow streets.

Cons:
The least one can expect with a confirmed reservation and a booking made several weeks in advance is a car waiting for you. But at hertz a confirmed reservation doesn’t mean a confirmed car!!!10.0 Wonderful
