STX airport car rental

Most the car rental agencies have offices at STX airport.  Their windows are located on the outside street as you exit toward the baggage claim, which is also outside.  There you’ll find Hertz, Budget, Avis and Centerline, which can help you pick up your rental car.  St. Croix airport car rentals are plentiful and there for you to use and take advantage of all the wonderful sights on the island, most of which are really only convenient to experience with a car.

St. Croix scooter rentals and bicycle rentals

There are no places to rent a scooter on island, and that’s probably a good thing because scooters and bicycles are not safe to ride in the Virgin Islands. Many roads do not have shoulders and are not wide enough for passing, have lots of potholes and other dangers.   A friend once said “a scooter is fine as long as your affairs are in order, you have take out a good medical insurance policy, and you are covered with air ambulance coverage as well”.   Since renting a whole car is not so much more, so why take the risk?

Car Rental St Croix FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Is there a minimum age requirement to rent a car in St. Croix?

Yes.  You must be at least 25 years old to rent a car in St. Croix USVI.  Some agencies will rent to 23 and 24 year olds for an additional insurance fee.    

Do I need car insurance in St Croix?

Yes you need insurance and it can be a bit tricky.  Many agencies will ask you to present the car insurance policy you use back home to see if you’re covered in the USVI.  You also will normally need to use a major credit card that offers car insurance coverage.  Be certain to plan ahead and clarify this, or you might face a nasty surprise on your holiday.  

Also note that USVI law mandates compulsory liability insurance. Make sure your credit card covers this otherwise you’ll have to pay extra to get it from the local car rental agency. Read more here on why do you need mandatory insurance on a rentals car in St. Croix (pdf).

What do I need for a St Croix car rental?

As of this latest 2024 update , most car rental agencies require:

1. valid driver’s license (and a passport if you are non-US citizen or resident)

2. major credit card (some ask to verify that it provided collision / damage coverage valid in the USVI).  Some St. Croix car rental agencies will accept a debit card if you provide a declaration page from your home auto insurance policy.  

3. exact name match on the driver’s license and credit/debit card

4. additional drivers must also be present and with a valid license.

5. local address where you are staying on St. Croix

What is the credit card policy to rent a car?

Most agencies are similar in that they require a major credit card like MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and DiscoverCard.  A minimum authorization of $300-500 or an amount equal to the price of the rental, whichever is greater, is held on the card. This is usually a hold, not a charge, and will be released at the end of the rental, assuming there are no outstanding charges.  You can choose to pay by cash if there are no damages to the vehicle upon return.

If using a debit card, the agency may either place a hold or immediately charge the card and receive payment.  If a hold, it is typically larger than the hold on a credit card.

Can I rent a car with a debit card in St. Croix?

As explained above, it is possible with some agencies to get a St. Croix rental car using a debit card, but you will need to present a car insurance policy which is accepted by the car agency for coverage in St. Croix, or take their daily collision wavier as well as charge an additional deposit on top of the cost of the rental (often $1000).  The deposit will be returned at the end of the rental if all is OK with the car. 

Always clarify details in advance, surprises are never fun!

Should I rent a Jeep in St. Croix?

The roads are not great but most people drive perfectly fine in St Croix without a Jeep. They’re more expensive and usually not necessary.

But if you like the feel of riding high and the wind blowing through your hair, then go for a St. Croix jeep rental.

Is there a fee for additional drivers?

Usually yes there is an fee to add drivers to your car rental agreement.   However, spouses are often exempted as long as they have the same last name as the primary driver on their license.  

What about non-US citizens renting a car in St. Croix?  

Non US-citizens must have a valid international driver’s license as well as a major international credit card (Visa, Master Card, American Express). You can find out here how to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) to use in St. Croix.

Can they deliver the rental car?  

Most St. Croix car rental agencies will deliver vehicles upon request.

What if I have a late flight / early flight?  

Most agencies have booths at St. Croix airport which are open during working flying hours.  If your flight is delayed, you will need to contact the rental agency to make arrangements.

Do you drive on the left side of the road?

Yes, all cars in St. Croix drive on the left side of the road, so exercise caution if you are not familiar with this. The US Virgin Islands are the only place in the US that drives on the left side of the road. Read why do they drive on the left side in the Virgin Islands (pdf).

What about long-term car rental in St Croix?

Most agencies offer long-term car rental. The discount is usually 30% for a monthly rental. Try Judi car rental St Croix for good rates.

What is the usual fuel policy for rental cars?

Normally the car is delivered with a full tank and to be returned the same.  If not, the agency will charge you for fuel and usually at a higher cost than market. This is called the “full-to-full” fuel policy for St. Croix car rentals.

Are children seats provided? 

Most agencies can provide seats for kids or infants for an additional charge.  You will have to install it yourself for liability reasons. You can bring and use your own child safety seat if it meets regulations.

Can I drive my vehicle off-road in St. Croix ? 

Clarify the details with your rental agency.  Most car rentals DO NOT ALLOW off-road driving, even for Jeeps and other 4×4 vehicles.

What is Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)?

Collision Damage Waiver is a waiver of financial responsibility for the renter for a damaged vehicle. It is NOT insurance; however, in some instances your liability would be reduced to a $500 deductible. There is an option during the reservation process to add the CDW.

Do you need a special driving permit to drive in St. Croix?

A renter with a valid driver’s license from their country of residence may rent a vehicle in St. Croix. The U.S. Virgin Islands does not require a special permit for international drivers.

Can I choose the color of my car?

Usually not because of the additional logistics involved.

Where to return a rental car in St. Croix?

Your vehicle may be usually returned at any location of the agency you rented from, but most people usually return their rental car at the St Croix Airport.
