We had a tire problem on the French side on a past trip. One phone call and it was handled promptly. We have always rented from Kenny's because we know they will take good care of us!

We haven't had a flat lately but I notice the tires are often low on cars, and we have found it hard to find someplace to get air. Anyone know a handy place in Simpson Bay area to get air?

There is a tire shop in the Simpson Bay general area, off the main road and heading more or less towards the beach? We were there once but I can't remember exactly where it is. I know Lesley could give you exact the location and directions since he's the one who told us about it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

I think that Texaco station is no longer there, Bob. We always went there to fill up the car before returning to the airport, but last year it had disappeared.

Sunfun said: Just maybe if all the tires on the rental cars were not completely bald there wouldn't be a problem to begin with. If the tires are bald then why would anyone accept the car???

personally, i was THRILLED to see that Texaco service station gone. They ripped us off a few years back...on the way to the airport, stopped to put gas in the tank. couldnt read the meter on the pump. i had a nissan versa with half a tank left when i got there. Told them to fill it. WEll, to my surprise, the attendent told me SIXTY bucks. WTF???? I argued...knew i had a half a tank left....and was planning on waiting for the police to show up..knowing there was no way a small versa could take sixty bucks for the tankful...never mind the half tank. Since we were on the to return the car for the airport, didnt leave me any choice but to pay it...knowing that i was ripped off by at least FORTY BUCKS. Two years after this incident, texaco was gone...hopefully someone finally ripped them off.

That was a bad experience. We never ask for a "fill up" on the island. We always ask for a set amount, usually $20 and that gives us a full tank each time.There are a few places that will try to scam you if you are not careful.
