Everything you need to rent a car at Cyril E. King Airport (STT) — pickup and shuttle, brand differences, vehicle classes, renter requirements, driving on the left, and taking your rental vehicle to St. John.
Reservations are completed securely on the selected brand's official website.
Pick up your rental at STT.
Alamo, Enterprise, and National operate from an off-terminal rental facility at Cyril E. King Airport (STT) in Charlotte Amalie. After collecting your baggage and exiting the terminal, follow the rental-location instructions for shuttle pickup. The rental counter is not inside the terminal — confirm the exact shuttle details on your reservation before you travel.

A complimentary shuttle transports customers between the terminal and the off-terminal rental facility where all three brands are located. Shuttle procedures and frequency can change — check your reservation for current instructions before you arrive.
Three brands, one airport location.
All three brands operate from the same off-terminal facility at STT. The differences are mostly in loyalty programs, service style, and fleet emphasis — not in location, pickup, or ferry access.

What you need at pickup.
Credit card required
A major credit card in the renter's name is required at pickup. Debit cards, prepaid cards, cash, checks, and mobile payments are not accepted. A security authorization hold may apply.
Valid license & minimum age
Bring a valid driver's license (and passport for international travelers). Minimum age requirements and young-renter surcharges vary by brand and vehicle class.
The USVI drives on the left.
Steering wheels are generally on the left, but traffic drives on the left side of the road. Roads can be steep, narrow, and winding — allow extra stopping distance and use caution in rain.
