Patrice,

To expound a bit on Toms and GaKayes posts, it won't hurt to scroll through the sponsors list and decide who offers the type/size of car you're looking for and then email a few of them including your exact arrival and departure dates and ask for their best quote INCLUDING all taxes and liability insurance if you choose to take it. (The chances are pretty good your credit card overs the general collision coverage but it's worth checking that out first.) That way you can compare apples to apples and bottom lines for all.

Things to keep in mind: some email hosts will block emails from the island so if you don't hear back in a reasonable time be sure to check your spam folder; some of the TTOL sponsors closely follow this forum so you can also PM them here; most U.S. automobile insurance companies do NOT cover you on SXM at all, including umbrella coverages. Once you decide on a company and their quote, copy it and bring it with you so there is no room for misunderstandings on the island.

The local guys are very good to deal with - some will meet you at the airport with your car while some will meet you there with their vans and take you to their rental lot and others will actually meet you at your hotel at a time of your choosing but it's up to you to decide what service you actually want. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
