Looking for a paradise on earth? St. Thomas Virgin Islands gathers tons of tourists that comes for the weather, it's white sand and the crystal clear water offered by the Island. And St Thomas is, between all of them probably the most remarkable one.
Renting a car - Rental Agencies are located at strategic places such as the airport, the main cruise ship dock and at large resorts. There are several agencies to choose from but traveling without good indications from local people even if using a GPS won't be convenient to enjoy your stay on the Island.
Inter-Island Ferry and Air Service - Inter-island travel is facilitated by reliable ferry service and commuter airlines. But those are only available for traveling BETWEEN the Islands and not INSIDE the Island.
The real question that every tourist should bear in mind is: how am I going to travel ON the Island. At first one may seem a little confused in front of the many ways of transportation that the island may have to offer. First noticeable thing is that in St Thomas we drive on the LEFT and more importantly, the driver's seat is on the LEFT side. Directions can get pretty complicated especially since street names are not that many. Mastering the roads of the Island can be quite challenging if you are not familiar with St Thomas. My suggestion would be to hire a St Thomas Taxi service.
"Many St Thomas taxis carry 8 to 12 passengers in vans and to get to specific locations such as the Airport. The charge for a taxi exclusively for yourself for a trip from the Airport to Red Hook is $90 for up to 4 passengers total, each additional passenger over 4 is $15. Each for exclusive transport within the Town limits is $55 for up to 4 passengers and $7.00 for each additional passenger."
