Top tips for renting a car in St. Maarten
- Although there is a bus service on the island, this is quite slow and irregular, meaning that driving is the best way to explore. To avoid high costs and dependence on taxis, most people are advised to rent a car on Sint Maarten. Popular places best accessed by rental car include Loterie Farm, the foodie destination Grand Case, and the Simpson Bay area.
- If you choose to rent a car in Sint Maarten, you may find a compact car best suited for touring the island: roads can be very narrow and parking lots tight, particularly in the small town centers like Philipsburg. However, in the hillier areas of the island, drivers may be faced with very steep inclines; for a trip involving lots of terrain like this, a larger car with a manual transmission may be more suitable.
- Children under the age of five must be placed in a suitable restraint system in the back seat of a car when traveling in Sint Maarten. Rental agencies are usually able to provide baby and child seats when booked in advance; for example, Avis charges 15 ANG (8 USD) per day for the service.
- Drivers who rent a car in Sint Maarten may travel to the French side of the island, St. Martin, without any problem, but they should be aware that different road rules apply. Speed traps and police checks are far more common on the French side, speed limits are generally higher (up to 90 km/h [55 mph] on highways), and petrol prices are charged in euros. Driving is on the right side on both sides of the island.
