Logistics Tips
- Book vehicles well in advance — especially during peak wedding season (December–April)
- Coordinate pickup times with flight arrivals
- Arrange a meeting point at the rental facility
- Consider assigning one person as the rental coordinator
- Ensure all drivers have valid licenses and credit cards
St. John Weddings
If your wedding or reunion is on St. John, you will need vehicles authorized for St. John travel. All rental vehicles from Alamo, Enterprise, and National are authorized for St. John travel. Book early, as vehicle availability is more limited during peak season.
Additional Drivers
For group rentals, multiple drivers may be needed. Take advantage of loyalty program benefits to add spouses as additional drivers at no charge. For non-spouse drivers, additional driver fees will apply.
Insurance Considerations
For group events, verify insurance coverage for all drivers. Check whether your personal auto insurance or credit card coverage extends to rental cars in the USVI, or consider purchasing coverage from the rental brand.
