Hello all.
Well, we found flights, so SXM here we come.
I know there are several car rental companies in SXM, but I have a specific question. Has anyone been able to rent a SUV similar size to Honda Pilot which would comfortably transport 6 people? I know there are vans avail, but an SUV is just nicer to get around in. Doesnt have to be a Pilot, but an SUV with the 3rd row of seats would be good, otherwise we go with a van.
Thanks in advance for any leads

Parking can be a problem. A wide SUV is harder to park than is a narrow SUV.

we rented a full-size explorer from them. Have had a great experience with them.

If we are having family or guests staying with us, we often rent a Hyundai Sante Fe from Discount Car Rental St Martin. It can be configured as either a 5-passenger or 7-passenger SUV. Claude is great to work with and ALL insurance is included in the quote.

We rented a Toyota 4 Runner from Hertz for our family at the end of November. I’ll warn you now the pricing was extreme but consistent across other rental companies. We paid $768.40 for one week inclusive of liability insurance. I could have rented two cars for the week for less money but the logistics didn’t make sense. The vehicle was a 2015 model with 3 rows, clean, well maintained, low mileage and very comfortable for 6 adults. It was also the first time we had gone to Friars Bay after a heavy rain that I didn’t worry about the deep water filled potholes……little wins.

I'm more than sure you will find what you are looking for with SAX rental company! IMHO, the best service on the island with great prices!!! https://www.saxcarrental.com/

I hate to bring this up, BUT 5 people in a / 7 pax mid sized suv would be jam packed full with luggage/ carry ons. No room for 6th. . A van would allow more room and comfort when traveling aroun( dodge caravan, Toyota 8 pax van best. Ma t agencies offer them. Best wishes
