For whatever it’s worth, we always ask our rental agency for the more ‘lovingly used’ cars whenever possible so the post-Irma look won’t be a problem for us at all, when we finally manage to get back to the island.
In honesty, IMHO, the roads are not great Island-wide and a few of the beach access roads are really the pits, and every so often when we do end up with a brand new rental car I cringe and spend our entire trip worrying about possible dings and dents we might incur not to mention the occasional pothole or unpainted ‘sleeping policeman’ that might be lying in wait for us. Our rental agency always treats us well and I’d hate to be the one to put the first wrinkle in his new car.
