If your flight to St. Thomas arrives late in the evening or early morning, you may need after-hours car rental pickup from Alamo, Enterprise, or National. Here is what you should know.
Operating Hours
Counter hours at Cyril E. King Airport vary by brand and by season. Alamo, Enterprise, and National typically align their hours with the bulk of flight arrivals, but late-night or early-morning flights may arrive when the counters are closed.
Check Before You Book
Always verify the counter operating hours for your arrival date before booking. If your flight lands outside those hours, you may need to:
- Adjust your reservation pickup time
- Book a different flight
- Arrange overnight accommodation near the airport and pick up your car the next morning
After-Hours Options
Some brands may offer after-hours pickup using a lockbox or key-drop system, but this is not guaranteed at the STT location. Contact Alamo, Enterprise, or National directly to confirm whether after-hours arrangements are possible for your specific reservation.
Taxi Alternative
If after-hours pickup is unavailable, consider taking a taxi to your hotel and returning to the rental facility the next morning. This can actually be more convenient than navigating an unfamiliar pickup process after a long travel day.
Planning Ahead
The best strategy is to book a flight that arrives during normal counter hours. This ensures a smooth pickup experience with full staff available to assist you at the rental facility.
