Leaving St Maarten 8.15am with a car rental drop off
Save

Ok, Need to nail down what I'm doing as our trip is in a few weeks.

I have an 8.15AM flight out of SXM (Princess Juliana) to MIAmi (FL, USA).

Many of the "good" car rental companies (per this board), don't open until 7 am.

When I ask them about this, they say drop the bags off, and then come back to the car rental to drop the car off.

Kenny's says to just leave car in SXM parking lot, with a few bucks for the parking.

I'd like to hear from others who have had the 8.15am flight out and used a car rental.

Do the above suggestions work?

What did you do?

Should I return it the night before and get a taxi on flight day?

I know I can count on this forum for great advice ... you've all helped me a lot already.

Thanks!

We use the same flight. When I rent from Hertz I drop the car off at their office lot at 6:00am and then they shuttle us to the airport with our luggage. Never a problem since they open at 6:00 for that reason.

HI SXMScubaman:

When was the last time you did this? The reason I ask is because the email confirmation letter states that their hours are 0700-2200.
