Six of us with luggage will need a suitable vehicle to get us from the airport to Sea Cow Bay along with a drive to Bananakeet for dinner at the end of October. We’re also hoping to rent a vehicle while on VG for a day drive around the island the first week of November. Any suggestions on current rental car companies? It’s been 5 years since we’ve been to the BVI so I presume companies have changed since Irma.

Since the hurricane, the only place, that I have found, with a vehicle big enough for your group is at Avis. I like to use local companies, but I have not found one with a van.
Avis was very responsive, delivered the vehicle to us in Cane Garden Bay. No complaints.

I guess it makes sense to just use a taxi on Tortola. We’ll need to go from the airport to Sea Cow Bay, drop our gear then a trip to Callwoods Distillery and Bananakeet then back to the boat for the night. Another trip into town and back the next AM to pick up groceries and any additional alcohol we may need. I’ll check with AC’s Taxi. Thanks all for the advice.

If you're doing all that moving around on Tortola, it will be cheaper to rent a car. Check and see if Avis will give you van at the airport and pick it up for you at Sea Cows the next day.

Better to rent a van and pay for the pickip and drop off fees. The trip from EIS to Nanny Cay for 6 totals $110 plus luggage fees. Then from Nanny Cay to Cane Garden Bay is another $79 each way. Then a couple of you will probably need to run in to Riteway for some last minute provisions. Another $30 each way. About $300 total plus tips. You coud rent two cars for that price.

I’ll check with Avis. Now have to deal with Seaborne-Silver changing our return flight home today only giving us a 55 minute layover in San Juan. I know that’s not gonna work...🤬
