Go to the sponsors tab at the top of the forum. There are many options, and we each have our favorites.

I'm not exactly sure who all is still in business. The building where Travel and AAA was, is half gone and the only cars there are wrecks. We tried to contact both before we came and did not receive a response. We rented through Lesley this time. For those who have been on island since the hurricane, please state who you rented through.

I remember seeing people who posted a few months ago they rented from Alain at AAA, but another poster said they had troubles getting a hold of him. Was the Travel side of the building gone? The AAA side houses the equipment for the PTz mahobeach cam, so I'm sure that side still has to be there. Anyone else have any contact from Alain?

We used Hertz this last May. Couldn't believe the price. Rented for 3 weeks for 125.00 a week for a fairly new corolla. Liability insurance included. Total bill cam to 398.00 after airport fees.

We have rented from Hertz in the past, around $17 per day, we have a rental booked with them for July for about the same money, am trying to book for November and they want $300 for 5 days :-(

I rented from Leisure for three weeks. My price was just a few dollars more than Scubaman's and also included liability insurance. I am a repeat customer. I know of someone else who got a quote from them for a ridiculously high price.

We love Moti and Ann @ Soualiga. Rented from them most recently in March. Moti meet us @ airport with car 5 minute turnaround and on our way. Drop off same scenario. Cash price for March was under 30.00 a day. soualigacarrental@yahoo.com or www.soualigacarrental.com We will be using for our July/August trip. Exceptional service.

So often we've revisited the rental car subject. Can my car rental guy beat up your car rental guy? Many long time SXM vacationers have a favorite. Not really a complex problem. High Season rates vs. Low Season rates, Vehicle type needed, TOTAL price, Level of service, Insurance coverage, # of drivers covered, Discount for being a repeat customer.
