For newbies we recommend renting on STJ. St. John Car Rental, Mr. Piper's Jeeps (formerly Paris), Bougainvillea, Sunshine are all good rental companies. Reserve early, they may need to call multiple firms to get a reservation.

You will only be able to rent 4WD vehicles on St. John, and that is what recommend for all but seasoned visitors. As the rental management company what they recommend as some driveways are unpaved and challenging.

On St. Thomas, we prefer to rent from Amalie as they pickup/dropoff at the airport.

capndar, Avis has a presence at the seaplane base. Its great for dropping off if you're chartering out of CYOA. Avis's location code is T5S. The airport code is SPB.
