Ins and Outs of renting a car on St Martin

Hi:

My wife and I will be staying at Le Meridien L'Habitation in March.
Many suggest renting a car due to the relative remoteness of the
resort.

Do I rent once I get there? Should I arrange ahead of time through a
travel agent? What if I won't need the car for the whole time? Will
availability be an issue? Do you buy insurance or is it figured into
the cost?

Thanks!

Jon

I tried to rent one once we got there and had to wait two days. That forced
us to eat at Le Meridien which was a waste since Grand Case is so close (but
$50 cab ride.) If I had it to do over I would have gotten the car ahead of
time and had it the whole time. Great vacation.

Depends on when in March, because there is the Heineken Regatta in March.

Thanks a ton! That thread gave me answers and more.

Try Hibiscus. They'll usually have an auto for rent.
