Ed,
Heather mentioned this is her FIRST time to SXM, and she already has transfers to her rental. Personally, if it were me and given those facts, I think I'd look for a car rental agency that would deliver a vehical to the condo either late on her arrival day or early the next morning. Those who are long-timers/frequent visitors tend to forget how confusing the signage (or lack thereof?) can be.
But to Heather I would suggest as others have, there is not much of anything that is safely walkable from your rental location. A car (or even two?) for your group of six would probably be less costly and more convenient in the end over arranging for and depending on local taxis or island transport in general. There is a company in Grand Case, perhaps Paradise?, that we have used once through our regular car rental agency and I believe you can get a Hertz rental through the Grand Case Beach Club, but that can also be confusing to find as a first-timer.
Welcome to St. Martin, Heather. I hope you learn to love it as much as so many of us do. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

I responded to your other note, didn't see that you had posted this.
There isn't a reason to limit yourself to car rental companies in Grand Case per se. I would suggest that you contact a couple of TTOL sponsors and ask them if they will deliver your car to your villa. Most will do that.

4Driver4 said:Prestige is the company that rents at out of the lobby at GCBC. It might be an easy way to get a rental: Prestige Thank you for the correction regarding Prestige, and I'm thinking that may be the company I was thinking of in reference to my other comment citing Paradise.....
