Before You Hit the Road
Everything you need to know for a smooth and convenient car rental experience.
-
We have two convenient locations, both about 5 minutes from your entry point.
Near PJIA Airport: If you book for Princess Juliana International Airport, a rental agent will meet you at the airport and shuttle you for free to our location.
At Bobby's Marina (Philipsburg): We're just a 5-minute walk from the Port of St. Maarten. Please note that due to police restrictions in the port area, we cannot pick up or drop off cars directly at the port (cruise terminal).
Want to pick up at one location and drop off at the other? See Island-Wide Delivery & Pick-Up under Services.
-
- Island-Wide Delivery & Pick-Up ($25)
Pick up your car at one of our locations and drop it off at the other for a $25 fee.
Prefer to have your car brought somewhere else on the island? For the same $25 we'll deliver and collect it at hotels, villas, Airbnbs, Grand Case Airport, the Marigot waterfront, and more. Just add Delivery or Pick-Up as an extra service at checkout.
Please note: this covers the vehicle only. It's not a taxi or shuttle service for you or your passengers. We also do not pick up or deliver to the Port of St. Maarten (cruise terminal).
- Family-Friendly: Traveling with little ones? We offer baby seats and booster seats to keep your children safe on the road. Just add one to your cart as an extra product when you book.
- Free 24/7 Roadside Assistance: Count on us anytime, day or night, to get you back on the road quickly.
- Flexible Rental Periods: Rent by the day, week, or longer. We’ll match your stay.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and Maestro credit cards, provided they are in the primary renter’s name at the time of rental.
Please note:
- Diners Club, virtual cards, debit cards, and prepaid cards are not accepted.
- All payments are processed in local currency.
Important: Some banks or payment providers may apply additional fees for transactions or refunds, such as currency conversion or processing charges. These fees are set by your provider and are non-refundable. We recommend checking with your card issuer for full details before booking.
-
A refundable deposit of USD 800 will be placed on your credit card at the start of the rental. This deposit will be fully refunded when the vehicle is returned without damage, fines, or other outstanding charges.
Waiver Option:
If your credit card includes rental car insurance coverage (such as collision or damage protection), you may qualify for a reduced or waived deposit. Please provide valid proof of coverage in advance or at pickup. Approval is subject to verification. -
While insurance is not required, you may want to add it if:
- Your credit card does not fully cover rental cars.
- You want more protection and less financial risk in case of damage or accident.
Available Insurance Options
-
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW): Covers damage to the rental car. → $11/day to reduce your liability to $800.
-
Additional Liability Insurance: Covers damage to third parties (other vehicles, property, etc.). → $7.95/day to reduce your liability to $1,500.
These coverages give you extra peace of mind by limiting how much you'd be responsible for in case of an accident, damage, or theft.
-
To rent a car with us, you’ll need:
- A valid driver’s license held for at least 2 years.
- Licenses from most countries are accepted.
- An International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended but not required if your license is in English or uses Roman characters.

What people
say about us
We rented a car from Travel Rent A Car while visiting on a cruise, and everything went well. When we got off the ship, the rental agent was waiting outside the port with a board showing our names, he was super friendly. The pickup took just a few minutes, the car was clean and in great shape, and the whole experience was hassle free.
Our mid-sized rental car was clean, odor-free, and fuel-efficient. It drove smoothly, making our island trip even more enjoyable.
Felt like renting from a professional corporate company, but with the personalized touch of a family-run business. The car was in great condition, and the staff, especially Tony, were brilliant.
Booking was straightforward, and pickup was a breeze at Bobby's Marina. The staff were friendly and professional, and the vehicle was exactly as expected. Highly recommend Travel Rent A Car!
We ordered a car through the website two days in advance. The service was perfect. The car was new and undamaged. So it becomes on of the best days of our cruise ship trip.
The deposit was not charged to our credit card; it was simply blocked and released within 7 days. Recommendation: Both types of insurance should be purchased.
Easy access right on the dock, cheap prices , reliable cars , excellent customer service ( Tony )
Great, welcoming, and fast service. I recommend it.
