Rental Car
If you choose to rent a car for your trip, we highly recommend booking a rental car through hotwire.com ahead of time. Budget, Hertz, and Avis all have locations at the airport making it easy to grab your car and go once you arrive. Tip** Similar to England, cars drive on the left side of the road.
Travel Note
(CASH ONLY) There are plenty of taxi services available at the airport that will take you to your accommodations. The taxi service from the airport to Redhook can range from $15-20 a person. When getting around Red Hook, taxies request a flat rate of $5-6 a person. The island offers a $1 shuttle that loops the island and stops outside most resorts every 30 min. This can be a unique way to see a lot of the island but can be a slower means of transportation.
