Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Christiansted 
Verified travelerJan 2024
Very small airport. The left hand side of the road is used for driving. The cats are all American standard so left side of vehicle. New combination for Me.. took a few spins to get used to it.
Verified travelerFeb 2024
It was easier than we thought. Just drive slow/ lots of pot holes in roads!
DJul 2023
Most of the roads need to be re-paved. The drivers are very courteous. Remember to keep to the left side of the road.
jaredJul 2023
Avoid Avis and go to Hertz. Several of the locals made this recommendation as well.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Driving in the left side of the road can be tricky if you’re not used to it.

Mar 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Staff was extremely rude. Pickup was fine until we drove out of the parking lot and noticed the tire was flat. Went back to attendant who said "there was nothing he could do"... took a lot of arguing -including being yelled at by staff- to just get them to change our car to another one, which is what they should've done from the beginning. We will never rent with Budget again.

Cons:

Better customer service. The car was also disgustingly dirty on the inside and smelled terrible. This was unacceptable in normal times and particularly during COVID times.

Pros:

The dropoff was relatively easy. The lady at the counter and the gentleman at the return were nice

Cons:

I got a pretty beat up car with 40K plus miles on it. The car had visible damage on the outside and the inside was possibly the least clean (not necessarily very dirty) of any rental car I've ever gotten. The lady at the counter for pick up also didn't seem to want to be there. Lastly, I called to extend the rental by one day which Hertz was OK with but they charged me 80+ bucks for the extra day when I paid 50 per day (350 for the week). I would use someone else next time I go to STX.

Pickup/drop off is super easy, quick, and right at the airport. We know this because we had to return one rental car half way through the trip due to the electrical system going haywire. We were experts by the time we returned the second car, which was having transmission problems. Not sure if it’s a Hertz thing or a STX thing, but the cars are seriously abused.
