Comparing Enterprise, Alamo, and National at St. Thomas airport

At Cyril E. King Airport (STT) on St. Thomas, three rental brands operate from the same facility: Enterprise, Alamo, and National. All three are part of Enterprise Holdings, but they serve different traveler profiles. Here is how to choose.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Enterprise is known for excellent customer service and a wide range of vehicles. At STT, Enterprise is a strong choice for travelers who want reliable service and flexible options, including business and monthly rental programs. Enterprise Plus members earn points toward free rentals.

Alamo Rent A Car

Alamo is geared toward leisure and family travelers. If you are visiting St. Thomas for a vacation, Alamo often offers competitive rates and family-friendly perks. Alamo Insiders get access to exclusive deals and faster check-in. Alamo is a great choice for budget-conscious vacationers.

National Car Rental

National targets business and frequent travelers. The Emerald Club program allows members to skip the counter entirely and pick their own car from the Emerald Aisle. National's premium vehicle options and expedited service make it ideal for executives and road warriors visiting St. Thomas.

Key Differences

  • Best for leisure: Alamo
  • Best for business: National
  • Best all-around service: Enterprise
  • Skip-the-counter option: National Emerald Club

Fleet and Pricing

All three brands offer similar vehicle categories at STT — from economy cars to SUVs and Jeep Wranglers. Pricing can vary by season, vehicle type, and loyalty program membership. Compare rates across all three before booking.

The Bottom Line

There is no single best choice — it depends on your travel style. For a St. Thomas vacation with the family, Alamo is often the best fit. For business travelers, National's Emerald Club is hard to beat. For flexibility and service, Enterprise is a solid all-around choice.
