Getting Around

Car Rental: A St. Croix car rental will give you the flexibility and mobility to tour the island at your own pace. Most visitors staying at St. Croix villas have few other options - bus service, though present, is unreliable at the best of times and taking a taxi everywhere can be inconvenient. Securing a St. Croix car rental, then, is your best bet if you plan on leaving your accommodations to tour, shop, or eat. The bulk of St. Croix' car rental agencies are located at the island's airport, with some operating branches in Christiansted as well. Major renters as well as local outfitters are available, with most offering a range of small to mid-size vehicles with air-conditioning. Reserving a St. Croix car rental will require a valid driver's license from any country - good for 90 days on the USVI - and a credit card. Most St. Croix car rental companies won't rent to anyone under the age of 25. St. Croix car rental rates are moderate, but expect to pay more than average for accident insurance. Parking can be limited in Christiansted. Most major roads are well- maintained asphalt. Please remember to obey all speed limits, wear your seat belt, and drive on the left!

Taxi: Taxis are abundant on St. Croix. In Christiansted, taxi stands are located near the Government House on King Street, and on Market Square. Frederiksted's taxi stand is next to Fort Frederik.

Bus: Buses run regularly between Christiansted and Frederiksted from 5:30am to 9:30pm except Sunday. Service is also available from both cities to and from the airport. Exact change is required. For more information, call the VITRAN office at 773-1290, ext. 2291.

Limo: Limousines can be rented through the V.I. Limousine Service at 778-LIMO (5466).

Ferry: Seasonal ferry service (November - May) is offered between St. Thomas and St. Croix via V.I. Fast Ferry (75 minute trip).
