Try Travel Car Rental. We rent from Steve when we are staying on the island, never a problem. He is a sponsor here.

A daily rental is obviously going to be a lot more per day than a weekly rental. For a cruise passenger, I do have to ask why you would even want to rent a car, from the standpoint of how much time it takes to rent, turn the car in, etc., versus just getting a cab. As well as we know the island, I think I would just get a cab to where I wanted to go.

OK, hope it works out for you. Another option might be to contact TTOL sponsor Wilfred Brooks and ask him how much he would charge to take you around for the day. Wouldn't have to worry about parking on Front Street or in Marigot, and wouldn't have to worry about drinking. Spending an extra 10 minutes parking or walking from a parking space far away isn't a big deal if you're on island, but it would make me cranky on a ship, knowing I only have so much time. Regardless, enjoy your day with friends, showing off the island!

Although I use angela@horizoncarrentals.com for my weekly rentals, she does do a lot of day rents. I think it's $25./day, but not sure how current that price is and whether any discounts are available.
Next SXM visit -November 2023. Also January 2024.

We usually visit St Maarten for one or two weeks but recently I arrived on a cruise ship with a group of friends. There was no way I was going to stay in P'Burg all day so I rounded everyone up and headed to the car rental stands in the cruise port. I had checked prices online before I left and found a day rate I liked (it was between $50 to $60 US I recall). Yes, a little pricey for one day but I wanted the freedom four wheels of my own gave me. Paperwork was quick and soon I had my car and was zooming all around the island showing my friends my most favorite places. There are good options for you above but I wouldn't hesitate to rent from the cruise ship area again. And you used ??????? gary
Look up and wave!
