Hi

I can't help but can say that there are off the beaten track car lots where the daily rate is very low. At this late stage, they may take this option.

I think we rented from Johnny's??? for around this low rate. It all worked out. The small car was in perfect shape. They are located off the main tourist area and next to a hand car wash... which describes anywhere near Philipsburg.

So ask a trusted local and they will direct you to a backyard car rental company with insurance.

(Sorry no time to confirm contact info as i am heading out)

At minimum its a rental til they find what they are looking for.

Option 2: ask for a trusted local to chauffeur them around. Keep the driver on retainer. Ive heard of these arrangements esp for late night bar hopping.

my 2 cents worth.

Merry Christmas!

btw we left keys with a friend on french side who returned the rental days later with no problems.
