Getting Around

Car Rentals:
There are many car rental agencies on St. Maarten. Rates are about US$25 to $55 per day, and most companies offer unlimited mileage. A valid driver's license and a major credit card or cash deposit (about US$350 to $600) are required. In order to protect the livelihood of taxi drivers, cars may not be picked up at the airport; they are delivered to guests' hotels instead. Driving is on the right-hand side of the road.

Taxis are widely available on the island. They have no meters, but all carry government-issued rate sheets with the prices for destinations throughout the island, based on two passengers per trip. The minimum rate is US$4 for one or two persons. An extra charge of US$2 will be added for each additional passenger. Rates rise 25 percent after 10pm and 50 percent after midnight. It is customary to tip drivers 10 to 15 percent.
