Car Rental at Cyril E. King Airport
Everything you need to know about renting a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Alamo Rent A Car, and National Car Rental at St. Thomas's Cyril E. King Airport (STT) — where the facility is, how pickup works, and what to bring.
Quick answer
Car rentals at Cyril E. King Airport are handled at an off-terminal rental-car center reached by a complimentary shuttle from the terminal. Enterprise, Alamo, and National all operate from this facility. The rental counter is not inside the terminal.
Where the rental facility is
The rental-car center is off-terminal. After landing at STT and collecting baggage, customers exit the terminal and board a complimentary shuttle to the facility, where the brand counters and ready lot are located. The ride is short.
Which brands serve STT
Enterprise, Alamo, and National operate from the rental-car center. Each runs its own counter, reservations system, and loyalty program. Reserve through the official booking link for your chosen brand and confirm the pickup details on your reservation.
