KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Philipsburg

  • Taking a bus while exploring Phillipsburg limits the places you visit because they travel at specific hours and only on certain routes. In addition, most buses make several stops on each trip, giving you a slow journey. On the other hand, using car hire in Phillipsburg gives you maximum satisfaction when travelling through the city because of flexibility. When driving a hire car, you can easily go to Sandy Hill Beach on your own time, about 25 km (16 miles) from Phillipsburg.
  • Simpson Bay Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) is the main airport serving Phillipsburg. After landing, you can choose a vehicle from the Phillipsburg car hire agencies; Enterprise, Alamo and Europcar are located in a separate building, across the parking near the terminal exit. A free shuttle is always waiting for passengers to take them to the car hire offices from the terminal. However, consider booking in advance for a quick pick-up.
  • Streets in the city can get crowded and busy as people head out to restaurants and shopping. Therefore, driving on busy streets can be challenging. However, you have to focus on pedestrian safety. While most roads in the city are well-paved, some streets have potholes and can be dangerous to drive on, especially at night. For this reason, be keen on the road when driving at night.
  • Heavy traffic during rush hours, mostly from 07:00 to 09:00 and 16:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, can make using car hire in Phillipsburg difficult. Road congestion is caused by commuters going to and from work, tourist buses and large trucks. One of the most affected roads is Wellfare Rd. Driving on this road can cause delays in your journey. Therefore, consider driving on back street roads with less traffic.
  • Mini hire cars in Philipsburg are around 77% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Phillipsburg?

    The roads in Phillipsburg are narrow. So, driving a small car is the best way to enjoy a comfortable drive. All you need to do is choose a vehicle size depending on your luggage amount and the number of people travelling with you. Also, ask your car hire agency to tell you more about the vehicle's features and fuel consumption to know what to expect during the journey. In addition, a compact vehicle will allow you to more easily overtake and drive confidently on roads with curves than driving a larger car.

  • What’s the speed limit in Phillipsburg?

    Maintaining the required speed limit when using car hire in Phillipsburg is crucial. This helps to prevent accidents and improve road safety. When driving on motorways, the maximum speed limit is 115 km/h (71 mph) and 100 km/h (62 mph) on open roads. If driving on urban roads, maintain a speed limit of 60 km/h (37 mph). In built-up areas like school zones and residential areas, the required speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph). With speed limit signs available for reference on the streets, you can maintain the correct speed to ensure safety for all road users.

  • Where are the best places to park in Phillipsburg?

    If you need a spacious and secure car park, choose the ones in the city centre. They are near the streets, giving you an easy exit from the city. However, parking charges vary among car parks. Therefore, consider the fees before parking. You could incur towing costs if you park your vehicle anywhere on the road. Avoid parking in front of driveways to evade paying fines. Several parking areas offer free parking for 2 hours daily and 24 hours on weekends, including Vine Street Square, Kissimmee Gateway Airport, Best Buy Kissimmee, The Crosslands Shopping Centre and Policiana SunRail Station Park & Ride. Some of these allow maximum parking of one day.

Anonymous, Aug 2022

I didn't choose the cheapest option that was available but a "mini" that had a photo of a mini cooper. It was almost double the price of the cheapest option. I ended up receiving the cheapest option vehicle and was told that I paid extra for the latest model of that vehicle, a random sedan. If I had known this would happen I would have chosen the cheapest option. It seems that I was deceived by the company to pay extra. I purchased insurance online but was told it was not from the rental company. The difference should be explained ahead of time as it also seems to be deceiving the consumer.
