In the early years of visiting SXM we thought we'd be safe with the known---Thrifty, Hertz, etc then we found out they weren't the same companies related to the states so we were concerned. When there was a rash of stolen backup light assemblies at one particular company and hotel video caught them in the act, it was the rental company themselves doing it. We joined this forum, found Leslie, a sponsor and have used him ever since.
