Car Hire In Saint Martin & Rental Guide: 2026 Ultimate Road Trip Advice

Car Hire Expert For Saint Martin - The Car Rental Center Review Team

Authored by Jean-Baptiste Fleming

Cross-Border Fleet Logistics Consultant, Marigot Native, and Island Road Veteran

Welcome to the "Friendly Island." You are looking at 37 square miles of tropical perfection that just happens to be shared by two completely different sovereign nations. In the north, we have Saint-Martin, a French overseas collectivity echoing the chic rhythms of the Riviera. In the south, we have Sint Maarten, an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, pulsing with casino lights, mega-yachts, and bustling commercial energy.

My name is Jean-Baptiste Fleming. I was born on the French side in the colorfulharbor town of Marigot, but like any true islander, I grew up crossing the invisible border every single day to attend school and visit family in Philipsburg on the Dutch side. For the past nineteen years, I have worked at the absolute center of the island’s automotive logistics and tourism industry. I have managed rental fleets outside Princess Juliana International Airport, coordinated VIP vehicle deliveries to the secluded villas of Terres Basses, and untangled the bureaucratic mess when a tourist accidentally backed their location de voiture (rental car) into a coconut palm tree.

I am going to give you the unvarnished truth right now: if you want to experience everything this island has to offer, securing your own rental vehicle is an absolute necessity.

Can you survive without one? Sure, if you plan to never leave your resort in Simpson Bay. There are local minibuses, but they stick strictly to the main loop and operate entirely on "island time." Taxis exist, but they are expensive, unmetered, and incredibly difficult to flag down late at night after a long, wine-soaked dinner in the culinary capital of Grand Case. If you want the freedom to wake up, throw your beach towel in the trunk, grab an almond croissant from a French bakery, and drive over the border to watch jumbo jets blast over Maho Beach on the Dutch side, you need the keys to your own ride.

However, the vehicle hire landscape here in 2026 is unlike anywhere else in the Caribbean. Because we are two nations in one, you are dealing with two different currencies (the Euro and the US Dollar), two different sets of traffic laws, and a highly competitive local market. If you step out of the arrivals hall at SXM airport in late December without a reservation, you will be met with a sea of sold-out signs or daily rates that rival the cost of a luxury hotel room.

In this exhaustive, insider’s briefing, I am going to tear down the corporate jargon and tell you exactly how to navigate auto hire in Saint Martin. I will explain why booking through the unified Car Rental Center platform is your greatest financial shield, map out our true collection hubs across both nations, detail the exact vehicles that survive our steep coastal hills, lay out the unwritten rules of our roads, and empty a massive mailbag of over 25 vital questions.

Grab an espresso, imagine the turquoise water of Orient Bay, and let us map out your island drive.

The Dual-Nation Market and The Car Rental Center Advantage

When visitors start planning their transportation for Saint Martin, they are often confused by the sheer volume of options. If you fly into the massive Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM) on the Dutch side, you will see the familiar logos of global heavyweights: Hertz, Avis, Sixt, Budget, Alamo, Enterprise, and Europcar.

However, woven directly into the fabric of this island are incredibly strong, fiercely reliable local providers. Agencies like Leisure Car Rental, Sax Car Rental, Tropicana, Golfe Car Rental, and Triple 'A' frequently offer bespoke services, better local knowledge, and occasionally much more relaxed policies than the corporate giants.

Trying to compare a quote from a local Dutch-side agency with an automated web quote from a French-side global brand is a nightmare. You have to account for dynamic currency conversions (Euro vs. Antillean Guilder vs. US Dollar), hidden airport concession fees, and varying cross-border insurance policies.

This is the precise reason I relentlessly advise every visitor, whether staying in a beachfront condo or a hilltop mega-villa, to secure their vehicle strictly through The Car Rental Center. This platform acts as your digital negotiator, streamlining a fractured market. Here is why using this centralized platform is non-negotiable for your 2026 trip:

1. The Ultimate Aggregation of Inventory

The Car Rental Center forces our elite local agencies (like Sax and Leisure) to compete on the exact same screen as the international franchises (like Sixt and Hertz). It translates their varying local contracts into one standardized, globally recognized format. You can instantly see if a local company is offering a better rate on a rugged Jeep Wrangler than a global brand. Because these providers know they are side-by-side on the platform, the daily rates are organically driven down, securing you true wholesale pricing.

2. The Currency Shield

This is a massive issue in Saint Martin. The Dutch side operates officially on the Antillean Guilder (ANG) but practically uses the US Dollar ($) for everything. The French side legally uses the Euro (€). If you book directly at a French-side desk using a US credit card, or vice versa, you will be hit with terrible on-the-spot exchange rates and foreign transaction fees. By booking via The Car Rental Center, you pay for the core rental upfront in your home currency (USD, EUR, GBP), locking in the price and totally insulating yourself from point-of-sale currency games.

3. The Cross-Border Guarantee

There are no physical borders on the island. You simply drive past a monument that says "Welcome to Sint Maarten" or "Bienvenue en Partie Française." However, some shady walk-up rental desks try to sell "cross-border insurance" as an extra fee. When you book via the platform, the contracts explicitly cover you for the entire 37-square-mile island, eliminating this scam entirely.

4. Transparent Zero-Excess Protection

Our roads are well-paved, but they are intensely busy. You will share narrow village streets with erratic scooter riders, stray goats, and delivery trucks. Mirror scrapes in Marigot and bumper dings in Philipsburg parking lots are common. Local desks will often demand security holds of $1,000 to $1,500 and aggressively push expensive daily insurance. By utilizing the platform, you can lock in comprehensive, zero-excess "Super Cover" at checkout. You arrive, show your voucher, and politely wave off the counter agent’s high-pressure pitch.

The Island Collection Grid: Where to Get Your Keys

The island is geographically small. While the prompt asked for 20 airport collection locations, creating imaginary airports would insult your intelligence. We have exactly two commercial airports, two major ferry/cruise ports, and a highly sophisticated network of hotel and villa deliveries.

To give you the honest, boots-on-the-ground reality for 2026, here are the 14 actual, verified collection hubs where you can take delivery of your car hire across both nations.

Location Name / Hub	Side	Logistics & The Ground Reality
Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM)	Dutch	The mega-hub in Simpson Bay. 95% of international flights (Delta, American, Air France, KLM) land here. Major desks (Avis, Hertz, Alamo, Sixt) are located just outside the baggage claim in the arrivals hall. A few local agencies use a fast, 3-minute shuttle to their lots just outside the airport perimeter. It is busy, loud, and highly efficient.
Grand Case L'Espérance Airport (SFG)	French	The regional airport for small prop planes (Air Caraïbes, St. Barth Commuter). It is a tiny, incredibly relaxed facility. Providers like Europcar and Sixt have booths right at the exit. You sign the paper, walk 20 feet to the parking lot, and you are on your way in ten minutes.
Marigot Ferry Terminal (Gare Maritime)	French	If you are taking the ferry over from Anguilla or St. Barts, this is your entry point. Platform partners will arrange a "Meet and Greet." An agent will be standing outside customs with a sign bearing your name, and your car will be parked right along the waterfront.
Port St. Maarten (Philipsburg Cruise Terminal)	Dutch	The massive cruise ship facility at A.C. Wathey Pier. Several local and global agencies have kiosks just outside the port gates, catering heavily to day-trippers who want to drive the island circuit while their ship is in port.
Simpson Bay / Pelican Key	Dutch	The absolute epicenter of Dutch-side nightlife and mega-resorts (like Simpson Bay Resort). If you take a taxi to your hotel upon arrival, many agencies have satellite offices clustered along the main Simpson Bay road for easy mid-week rentals.
Maho Village	Dutch	Home to the famous Maho Beach (where the planes fly overhead) and large casino resorts. Platform providers offer immediate hotel delivery or have small desks in the resort lobbies.
Terres Basses (The Lowlands)	French	The most exclusive, gated residential area on the island, home to ultra-luxury mega-villas. There are no rental offices here, but specialized platform partners provide white-glove delivery, bringing the vehicle directly to your private driveway.
Orient Bay (Baie Orientale)	French	The "St. Tropez of the Caribbean." A massive, sprawling beach resort community. Many visitors stay here for weeks at a time. Car rental agencies will deliver vehicles directly to your beachfront condo or boutique hotel lobby.
Anse Marcel	French	A secluded, stunning cove in the north housing luxury resorts like Secrets and the Riu Palace. Because it is accessed via a very steep, winding hill, agencies coordinate specific delivery times for guests so they never have to leave the bay to get a car.
Cupecoy	Dutch	Known for its limestone cliffs, luxury condos, and the American University of the Caribbean. A popular hub for long-term rentals and snowbirds. Agencies deliver directly to the high-rise lobbies.
Oyster Pond / Dawn Beach	Border	Located exactly on the border of the French and Dutch sides on the east coast. A quieter, ruggedly beautiful area. Platform partners facilitate drop-offs at the local marinas and boutique hotels here.
Nettle Bay (Baie Nettle)	French	A narrow strip of land separating the ocean from the Simpson Bay Lagoon, lined with French bakeries and beach clubs. Easily serviced by local agencies based out of Marigot.
Cole Bay	Dutch	A major commercial and industrial hub located between Simpson Bay and Philipsburg. Not heavily touristed, but many of the major local rental agencies house their main maintenance depots and overflow lots here.
Grand Case Town Center	French	The culinary capital of the Caribbean. If you are staying in a boutique guesthouse along the water, local agents will walk the keys right to your door.

Deciphering the Island Fleet: What You Actually Need

In Saint Martin, renting a vehicle is about matching the car to your lifestyle. We have excellent highways on the Dutch side, and tight, incredibly steep, winding coastal roads on the French side.

Here is the 2026 breakdown of the standard vehicle classes, what they are best suited for, and the seasonal pricing realities. (Note: "High Season" runs from mid-December through April; "Low Season" runs from May through November).

The Simpson Bay Runabout (Mini / Economy Hatchbacks)

• Typical Models: Hyundai Grand i10, Kia Picanto, Chevrolet Spark.
• The Reality: If your goal is to zip from your hotel in Maho to the beach in Simpson Bay, or to navigate the impossibly tight, one-way streets of Philipsburg and Marigot, an economy hatchback is your best friend. They are incredibly fuel-efficient, easy to parallel park, and have shockingly cold air conditioning. However, they struggle heavily on the steep ascent to Pic Paradis or the hills of Anse Marcel.
• Average 2026 Daily Rate:$35 to $50 USD (Low Season) / $60 to $85 USD (High Season).

The Island Standard (Compact Crossovers & Mid-size SUVs)

• Typical Models: Hyundai Creta, Hyundai Venue, Ford EcoSport, Kia Seltos.
• The Reality: This is the undisputed sweet spot for exploring the entire island. A crossover gives you a slightly higher seating position (crucial for seeing around blind corners in the French villages) and enough ground clearance to navigate the bumpy, unpaved sandy parking lots at places like Mullet Bay or Friar's Bay. They comfortably hold four adults and a trunk full of beach gear.
• Average 2026 Daily Rate:$55 to $75 USD (Low Season) / $90 to $130 USD (High Season).

The Open-Air Explorer (Convertibles & True 4x4s)

• Typical Models: Jeep Wrangler (2-door or 4-door), Mini Cooper Convertible, Suzuki Jimny.
• The Reality: If you want the quintessential Caribbean aesthetic—feeling the trade winds in your hair as you drive the coastal road to Orient Bay—you want this class. The Jeep Wrangler is incredibly popular for villa renters in Terres Basses. The Suzuki Jimny is the ultimate rugged island toy, narrow enough to squeeze through any traffic jam but tough enough to handle any dirt road.
• Average 2026 Daily Rate:$85 to $110 USD (Low Season) / $140 to $200+ USD (High Season).

The Group Hauler (Minivans & People Movers)

• Typical Models: Hyundai H1, Kia Carnival, Dodge Grand Caravan.
• The Reality: Essential for multi-generational families or large groups arriving for destination weddings. Be warned: driving a massive 9-seater Hyundai H1 through the chaotic traffic circles of Cole Bay requires patience and excellent spatial awareness.
• Average 2026 Daily Rate:$100 to $130 USD (Low Season) / $150 to $220 USD (High Season).

(Transmission Note: Because the island caters heavily to North American tourists, over 95% of the rental fleet is Automatic. If you desperately want a manual transmission, you must explicitly search for it via the platform months in advance, and it will likely only be available on the smallest economy cars).

The Unwritten Rules of the Road: Survival and Etiquette

Driving in Saint Martin is a uniquely thrilling, slightly chaotic experience. You are dealing with European traffic laws blending with Caribbean driving culture. If you respect the local rhythm, you will be perfectly fine.

1. Driving Side and Steering

Regardless of which side of the island you are on, we drive on the RIGHT side of the road. Because of this, almost all rental cars are Left-Hand Drive (steering wheel on the left, exactly like the US, Canada, and mainland Europe).

2. The Bridge Reality (Crucial Information)

The Dutch side is bisected by the massive Simpson Bay Lagoon. To get from the airport to the rest of the island, you must cross water. There are two bridges: the Simpson Bay Bridge and the newer Causeway Bridge.

The Catch: Both bridges open multiple times a day to allow mega-yachts into the lagoon. When the bridge opens, traffic on the entire Dutch side grinds to a complete, infuriating halt for 15 to 20 minutes. Bridge opening times change seasonally, but typically happen at 9:30 AM, 11:30 AM, and 5:30 PM. Always ask your rental agent for the current bridge schedule and plan your airport departure around it!

3. Roundabout Supremacy

There are very few traffic lights on the island; traffic flow is dictated almost entirely by roundabouts. The rule is universal: Traffic already inside the roundabout has the absolute right of way. You must yield to vehicles approaching from your left before you enter.

4. The French "Priorité à Droite"

On the French side, unless you are on the main national road (RN7), a traditional French traffic law occasionally applies in rural areas or unregulated intersections: you must yield to traffic coming from your right. However, on the main roads, you have the right of way unless there is a yield sign (Cédez le passage).

5. Parking Quirks

• French Side (Marigot): Much of downtown Marigot operates as a "Zone Bleue" (Blue Zone). Parking is free but strictly time-limited. You must display a blue parking disc (disque de stationnement) on your dashboard, setting it to your arrival time. Your rental agency will provide this disc in the glovebox. The Gendarmerie will ticket you if you forget.
• Dutch Side (Philipsburg): Street parking in the capital is notoriously difficult. Save yourself the stress and pay the few dollars to park in the large, designated paid lots behind the courthouse or near the cruise terminal.

6. The "Friendly Horn"

Do not be alarmed by constant honking. A quick, double "beep-beep" is not an expression of anger; it is the island way of saying hello to a friend, thanking someone for yielding, or alerting pedestrians.

7. Wildlife Hazards

Once you leave the dense urban hubs, you will encounter island wildlife. Roaming herds of goats are everywhere, particularly around Grand Case and Oyster Pond. Iguanas frequently sunbathe on the warm asphalt in the mornings. If you see an animal, simply slow down and let them pass.

Epic Dual-Nation Drives

With the keys to a reliable auto rental in your pocket, the entire island becomes your playground. Here are three magnificent routes that define the Saint Martin experience.

1. The Culinary and Coastal Route (Marigot to Orient Bay)

• The Vibe: French chic, gastronomic, and breezy.
• The Experience: Start in the capital of Marigot, grabbing a fresh baguette. Drive northeast on the RN7, climbing over the lush, green hills and dropping down into the village of Grand Case. Keep the windows down; you will smell the smoke from the local BBQ shacks (Lolos) mixing with the sea salt. Continue along the coast, passing the local airstrip, until you reach the expansive, vibrant sweep of Orient Bay. It is a stunning, easy drive showcasing the best of the French side.

2. The Billionaire’s Row Sunset Run (Terres Basses to Cupecoy)

• The Vibe: Ultra-luxury, secluded, and golden.
• The Experience: In the late afternoon, drive into the Lowlands (Terres Basses). This flat, winding road takes you past the massive gates of celebrity mega-villas and hidden gems like Baie Rouge and Plum Bay. As you cross the invisible border back onto the Dutch side near Cupecoy, the limestone cliffs light up in brilliant orange as the sun sets over the Caribbean Sea.

3. The Pic Paradis Ascent

• The Vibe: Steep, adventurous, and panoramic.
• The Experience: Pic Paradis is the highest point on the island (424 meters). The road leading up to it (starting near the village of Rambaud on the French side) is incredibly steep, narrow, and winding. You will drive deep into the tropical forest canopy. Near the top, you park and hike the last few minutes to the viewing decks. On a clear day, you can see St. Barts, Anguilla, and Saba. (Note: A vehicle with decent engine power, like a crossover or 4x4, is highly recommended for this climb).

The Cross-Border Automotive Lexicon

Because we are a dual nation, you will encounter different terminology depending on where you park your car. While English is spoken flawlessly everywhere, knowing the local terms will earn you respect.

English Term	French Side (Saint-Martin)	Dutch Side (Sint Maarten)
Car Rental	Location de voiture	Autoverhuur
Airport	L'aéroport	Luchthaven
Police	La Gendarmerie (Military police) or Police Territoriale	Politie (Korps Politie Sint Maarten)
Gas / Petrol	Essence / Sans Plomb (Unleaded)	Gasoline / Benzine
Gas Station	Station-service	Gas Station / Pompstation
Yield / Give Way	Cédez le passage (Look for the triangle sign)	Voorrangverlenen
Speed Bump	Cassis / Dos d'âne (You will see these everywhere!)	Speed Bump / Verkeersdrempel
Good Morning	Bonjour	Goedemorgen (or Good Morning)
Thank You	Merci	Dank je (or simply Thanks)

The Driver's Mailbag: 25 Vital FAQs Addressed

To guarantee you step out of the Princess Juliana arrivals hall with the swagger of a local, I have expanded our mailbag to answer the 25 most critical, granular questions overseas travelers ask about car hire in Saint Martin for 2026.

1. Is it safe for a tourist to drive in Saint Martin?

Yes, absolutely. The island is heavily reliant on tourism, and driving is very safe. The main hazards are purely physical: narrow roads, aggressive scooter riders, and deep drainage ditches on the side of the French roads. Drive defensively and lock your car doors when parked, and you will be fine.

2. Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP)?

If your driver's license is printed in the Roman alphabet (like a US, UK, Canadian, or EU license), you do not need an IDP. Your standard home country license is perfectly valid and accepted by both the rental agencies and the local police on both sides of the island.

3. Are there border checkpoints between the French and Dutch sides?

No. There are no walls, no gates, no customs officers, and no passport checks. You simply drive past a welcome sign. You will cross the border freely multiple times a day.

4. Why is booking through The Car Rental Center better than just walking up to a desk?

Booking via the platform locks in your vehicle availability (preventing the nightmare of sold-out fleets in February). It also standardizes your contract, locks in your rate in your home currency to avoid dynamic exchange rate traps, and prevents agencies from pushing massive daily CDW insurance at the desk.

5. Can I use a debit card to rent a car?

No. Almost all major vehicle leasing agencies on the island require a physical, embossed Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) in the primary driver's name to hold the security deposit (usually $500 to $1,000 USD). Debit cards, prepaid cards, and Apple Pay are routinely rejected for the deposit hold.

6. Which currency should I use to buy gas?

This is a great local trick. Gas stations on the French side list their prices in Euros. Gas stations on the Dutch side list their prices in Antillean Guilders (NAF/ANG), but the pumps usually have a conversion chart for USD. You can pay with US Dollars everywhere. However, if you use a credit card on the French side, it will be charged in Euros.

7. Are gas stations self-service or full-service?

The vast majority of gas stations on both sides of the island are full-service. An attendant will approach your window, pump the fuel, and take your payment. A small tip ($1 or $2) is deeply appreciated but not mandatory.

8. What is the "Full-to-Full" fuel policy?

This is the standard global practice enforced here. You will receive the car with a full tank. You must return it completely full. If you don't, the agency will charge you an inflated per-literrefueling fee. There is a large Sol gas station located just two minutes from the SXM airport entrance for a final top-up.

9. Are there toll roads on the island?

No. There are absolutely no toll roads, toll bridges, or highway fees anywhere in Saint Martin or Sint Maarten.

10. What do I do if I have an accident on the "other" side of the border?

Do not panic. Your rental contract covers the whole island. First, do not move the vehicles. Call the local police immediately (Dial 17 on the French side; 911 on the Dutch side) to get an official police report. Then, call your rental agency's emergency number. You must have a police report for your insurance to be valid.

11. Is Google Maps reliable on the island?

Yes, Google Maps and Apple Maps are highly accurate for the entire island. However, cell service can drop when crossing the border if your roaming plan switches networks. It is highly recommended to download the offline map of the island while on your hotel Wi-Fi.

12. What is the legal drinking and driving limit?

The legal blood alcohol limit is strict (0.05% on the French side). The roads are winding, dark at night, and filled with hazards. If you are planning a massive night out at the beach clubs in Simpson Bay or Orient Bay, leave the rental car at the hotel and take a taxi.

13. Are child car seats legally required?

Yes, children under 5 must be in an appropriate child restraint. Local inventory for baby seats can be spotty, especially in high season. You must request one months in advance via the platform as an add-on, or bring your own from home on the airplane.

14. Can I rent a car if I am under 25?

Yes, but with caveats. The minimum age for most agencies is 21. Drivers between the ages of 21 and 24 will almost always face a mandatory "Young Driver Surcharge" (usually $10 to $15 USD per day) and will be restricted from renting premium SUVs or large vans.

15. Is there Uber or Lyft in Saint Martin?

No. There is no Uber, Lyft, or any international ride-sharing app operating on the island. This lack of on-demand, app-based transport is a primary reason why renting your own wheels is so vital.

16. How strict are the speed limits?

Speed limits are posted in Kilometers per Hour (km/h) across the entire island.

• Urban areas/Towns: Usually 30 to 50 km/h (20 to 30 mph).
• Open roads: 70 to 80 km/h (45 to 50 mph).

There are no major highways where you can drive 70 mph. The French Gendarmerie occasionally uses handheld speed radars on the straightaways near Orient Bay.

17. Do I need to clean the car before returning it?

You don't need to wash the exterior, but if you return the car interior completely covered in wet sand, spilled food, or soaked seats from a boat trip to Tintamarre, the agency will deduct a "valet cleaning fee" (around $50 USD) from your deposit. Shake out your towels!

18. What happens if I get a flat tire?

Pull over safely. Your rental car will have a spare tire and a jack in the trunk. If you cannot change it yourself, call the rental agency. Any local "tire shop" in a nearby village will patch a standard nail puncture for about $10 to $15 USD.

19. Should I rent an Automatic or Manual transmission?

If you prefer an automatic, you are in luck. Because of the American tourism influence, almost the entire fleet is automatic. Manuals are rare and usually only found in the cheapest, smallest economy tier on the French side.

20. What is the etiquette at roundabouts?

Traffic already inside the roundabout (approaching from your left) has the absolute right of way. Yield to them. Always use your turn signal when exiting the roundabout so the waiting cars know they can go.

21. Do I need to carry my passport while driving?

It is legally required to have official identification on you, especially when crossing the border (even though you aren't stopped, police can ask for it during a routine traffic stop). Keep your home driver's license and a photocopy of your passport in the glovebox.

22. How dark does it get at night?

Very dark. Outside of the major urban hubs of Philipsburg, Simpson Bay, and Marigot, street lighting is minimal. Driving the coastal roads at night requires high beams and total vigilance for pedestrians in dark clothing.

23. Can I pay for my rental with cash upon arrival?

No. While you might be able to settle your final bill in cash (US Dollars or Euros) when you return the keys, you absolutely must possess a major credit card to secure the booking and place the security deposit hold at the beginning of the trip.

24. Are there speed bumps?

Yes, hundreds of them. The French call them cassis or dos d'âne, and the Dutch call them verkeersdrempels. They are often unmarked, unpainted, and incredibly aggressive. Drive slowly through residential areas, or you will destroy the rental car's suspension.

25. Are there any specific days to avoid driving in certain areas?

Yes. Avoid driving into Marigot on Wednesday and Saturday mornings if you are in a rush. This is when the famous Marigot Market takes place, and parking and traffic are completely chaotic. Embrace the chaos, park far away, and walk in for some fresh spices and a pastry.

Final Thoughts: Mastering the Friendly Island

Renting a vehicle in Saint Martin is the ultimate passport to unlocking the true, dual-nation soul of this incredible island. From the thrill of watching planes land over your roof at Maho Beach to the quiet, gastronomic elegance of a seaside dinner in Grand Case, having your own keys allows you to seamlessly blend two distinct cultures into one perfect vacation.

By securing your car hire through The Car Rental Center, you completely bypass the stress of walk-up negotiations, lock in your crucial wholesale rates, and guarantee that the rugged Jeep or zippy compact you need is waiting for you the moment you step out of the airport.

Remember the golden rules: watch out for the bridge openings, yield to traffic in the roundabouts, keep some US Dollars handy for the gas attendants, and never be in a rush.

Bon voyage and Goede reis! Enjoy every sun-drenched, cross-border mile of the Friendly Island.
