Car Rental
You should not need a car while on island. We have scheduled our events to be within walking distance of the recommended hotels (please see Accommodation tab). We will be providing a list of activities for you to choose from and transportation will be provided. We recommend you hire a taxi when you first arrive on the island to take you to the hotel. When booking your hotel room/condo with VIPRentals.com, be sure to ask about their transportation options from the airport.We drive on the left; roads are winding, narrow and can be intimidating. However, if you really want to rent a car, Hertz, Avis and Budget have car rental locations on St. Thomas.

Driving directions from Cyril E. King Airport (STT)
Cyril E. King Airport is located on the Southeast end of St. Thomas. The airport is the southwest end. From the airport, you take a right at the light and go through Charlotte-Amalie, our capital city, on the waterfront highway. You'll pass by Havensight Cruise Ship Dock on your right as you leave Charlotte-Amalie. The Caribbean Sea will always be on your right on this trip. Continue to the stop sign before the Marriott Resort, where you will turn LEFT, and stay on that road to the intersection with the Texaco gas station. At that STOP Sign, turn right and stay on that road past the Army Base and municipal pool (both on the left). When the road bears left to Red Hook (a town), you bear right up a hill - you will see signs for Vessup Bay and the Ritz Carlton. (If you get to the big yellow high school, you have gone too far.) Stay on that road and about a mile later you will see a sign for the Elysian on your right (past Cowpet West but before the Ritz Carlton). Turn left after you enter; the reception office is all the way around on the left.
