Car hires in Southside, Saint Thomas Island

they could have cars there for me. and i got charged for the insurance on a car i did not get.

The drop off of the car after our rental was very simple. And we were glad to get a shuttle back to the airport very easily. HOWEVER: When we arrived to St. Thomas, getting to the car rental from the airport was a little bit crazy. The shuttle was not marked that it was the Dollar/Thrifty shuttle, so we did not know when or if it was arriving. The phone number listed with our reservation through KAYAK was not correct, so we were unable to alert the agency that we were at the airport and needed to be picked up. We ended up taking a cab the 1 mile from the airport to the rental agency and were charged $35! Then, though we had reserved our car pick up for 3 PM and arrived at 4:15pm there was no car available for us FOR TWO HOURS!! We did not get our car until 6:25 PM. Because we were staying on Saint John, we had to make the car ferry at Red Hook—Which was located 30 minutes away. We literally pulled up to the Car ferry as the LAST boat OF THE DAY was departing. We barely made it. Needless to say it was extremely stressful. All the while we were waiting, the staff kept telling us different stories as to the status of our car. There was no straight answer. Unfortunately we were not the only ones in this predicament. Several other families were waiting for hours for their vehicle. Making this even more delightful, was the fact that the facility is under construction, so the only place to wait was under a tarp in folding lawnchairs. It was hot and humid and dusty. I am typically an adventurous kinda person, AND I had prepared myself for “island time”, but this was a bit ridiculous.

Car had many body damages, broken rear wiper blade, scratches, dents,

We were charge twice what our online rental stated! Beware

Very slow check in Had reservation, but no car available Forced to pay $200 extra for insurance, because I didn't have my insurance policy with me

Great, easy service. Shuttle to nearby St. Thomas airport.

Price was reasonable, they didn’t have the car size we requested, upgraded to a much larger vehicle which is not a great deal on an island with very narrow streets hard to find parking and expensive gas. The vehicle was an older model which was well cleaned but did have several exterior bruises which were accounted for, no problem there. The location when returning the car was a bit tricky to find. The check in process was a bit long but the return was quick.

The woman working when we brought the car back was delightful and very nice. The two drivers to and from the airport were nice as well. It was only a 7 minute ride from the airport to the rental agency. The lady that was working when we originally rented the car seemed to hate her job. I couldn’t hear her at all, and she seemed to generally be miserable. The gas tank was maybe 2/3 to 3/4 full upon check out. The radio/stereo would not turn on at all, and the brakes were in need of changing as well. The checkin day truly saved this review from being a zero star review.
