In-Depth Information
Car
St John has a handful of rental agencies. Most provide Jeeps and SUVs to handle the steep,
rugged, twisted roads. Costs hover near $80 per day. The following agencies have outlets in
Cruz Bay near the ferry terminals. Whatever agency you use, be sure to ask if you can park
in their lot when in Cruz Bay, since parking is notoriously difficult in town. Remember to
drive on the left and fill up in Cruz Bay, where the only gas station is.
