Perfect way to explore the island!

Nicole_T, Apr 2024

We had a great time in the Jeep exploring the whole island. Easy pick up/drop off at our ship! Nice Jeep for the price! And the service was great! Misha did a fantastic job telling us where and how to navigate the island and what not to miss. THANK YOU for that next level of service.

Not a happy camper

Steve_W, Apr 2024

We cancelled our rental by the cancellation date and you still charged my credit card; even after someone called me to confirm the cancellation. Not happy

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Good evening, I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Our office did not receive a call stating this it could have been a Viator/TripAdvisor agent that you spoke to but nevertheless if it is not 24 hours before booking you are not eligible for refund. To our potential customers: Please note that there is a 24 hour cancellation policy that VIATOR has not us. If you cancel the same day you will not receive refund.

Nice Jeep's but a little unorganized

Carole_H, Mar 2024

Pros: Jeep was new, great A/C. Clean. Intake and car prep person were very nice Cons: process is unorganized. Lots of people in a small area and no real system in place to get people moving.

Not the best experience.

Jamie_B, Mar 2024

It said that the transportation was included. They charged us $15 per person this had to be in cash. There was 4 of us. I did not have Internet to show my confirmation with it included. We did go back 2 days later and she did give us our money back but that was an unnecessary trip. Also I confirmed it was a 24 hour rental before and when we got there she said we had to be back by 5pm. I said thought we could bring it back the next day and she said no. I was not misunderstanding this there was 4 of us there and we all heard the same thing. When we got back the owner/supervisor was there and said this was not true. With both of them there said she never said that. They said we could take the jeep back out. But by this time we rushed the whole day to see what we had planned and it was to late to drive back to where we wanted to spend some time.

Great!!

Weldon_S, Mar 2024

Office girl was very helpful. Loaned us a step stool to help get in and out. Stopped traffic for us to get out onto the road. Directions to location from cruise ship was easy to follow. Excellent service all around.

Great people

Sheryl_G, Mar 2024

Loved driving around st marten. Beautiful island workers and owner very polite and friendly Easy access, nice vehicles. Very informative

Cool Trip

Jeffrey_F, Mar 2024

Had an excellent time. Could not have asked for a better time. The staff is very good people, that I just can't thank enough.

Lots of fun!!

KimberlyJ_P, Mar 2024

Great experience! Super friendly and helpful staff. Easy to book. You can do so much more on a cruise ship port day on your own.

Great Experience

Jodi_O, Mar 2024

We had a great day driving around St Martin. Our Jeep was very nice. I would defiantly recommend this company.

If you are on a tight schedule don’t use the pickup service.

Emily_D, Feb 2024

The pickup was 2 hours late so it was off to a rough start. However we later learned that the largest cruise ship in the world was docked at St. Martin that day and they were a bit overwhelmed. After pickup the driver was very friendly and professional. The worker at the rental desk apologized for the late pickup and explained the situation a little. We had an amazing day! The Jeep seemed to be abused a little and steering was in rough shape but overall didn’t have any effect on what we wanted to do for the day. The top will come off easily and we enjoyed that! There is a usb hookup in the glove box so bring an appropriate charger. We used our phone more this day for navigation. The radio didn’t seem to work and I was never able to get Bluetooth connected. Highly recommend a trip to Friar’s bay. There is a long rough dirt road perfect for a jeep and the cafe is delicious. We thought we had to deliver the jeep back before 6 but actually had it for 24 hours, so the late pickup wasn’t so bad.

Slowly and no gas

Jennifer_B, Dec 2023

Slow start to the day. Waited and waited for bubble bus to pick up and then the jeep we received had no gas. We had to follow an attendant (who was fantastic) to the gas station only to find out he was told to only gas up to 1/4 tank. We had to fill it to 3/4 tank because we wanted to tour the entire island. We also didn’t know the area to find another gas station if needed. It was annoying to start very slow and only given 1/4 tank of fuel.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

The shuttle pickup begins 8:30AM from the cruise port.. Your family reached at the shuttle area after 10AM. Our shuttle operates up and down and was carrying guests to our location while you waited a mere 10 minutes. It takes 10 minutes to drive to us from the cruise port. As for the fuel, it takes 1/4 to drive around the entire island. We also showed you were the closest gas station to refuel is on the map given to you upon arrival and check in. PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!

FUN BEACH/JEEP DAY !

bfleming5, Dec 2023

It was a very easy place to get to and to return ( just watch out for the one way streets that google Maps may try to take you down). Jeep wasn't ready when we arrived as they needed to do a through wash inside and out before we left due to a storm from the night before. They gave it to us immaculate, so the small inconvenience of waiting wasn't so bad. Easy to travel this island, as we always head straight to the French side. Easy to return in a timely manner. Checking out was a breeze as was the return to the ships port. We would definitely use them again. They do put a $500.00 cc hold on your card, which is credited back minus any gas usage when you return. Truly a great experience and a fabulous way to see St. Marteen!

Not impressed

Marjorie_G, Dec 2023

The initial rental of course went well. Soon discovered they’re a bunch of scammers. Charged us $50 American because there was sand in the car and the seats were “wet”. BS! We had dumped out the floor mats and the seats were not wet. What a scam. We’d never rent from them again

Response from Host, Feb 2024

As stated on the rental agreement that you sign and on a sticker present in the dashboard of the Jeep, it states that you WILL be charged for excessive wet seats/sand. PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!

Great people great price ...

Kevin_F, Dec 2023

Great people great price and fast service . The jeep was clean and reliable I would recommend to everyone . See you next year

Amazing!

Ivanna_L, Nov 2023

This company was amazing. The rental process was easy, the staff was so nice and informative. We were able to meet the owner who was was extremely nice. The keep we rented was clean, smelled good and was easy to use. We definitely recommend and will definitely use them when we return!!

Yes

Donna_C, Nov 2023

Got lost because there is no Maps coverage or very spotty on the island. Know where you’re going and how to get there before getting in the jeeps. The Jeeps were great! Staff was very friendly and nice. Would definitely use them again.

St Marten self Jeep tour

Ronald_F, Sep 2023

The staff was very friendly and very helpful in mapping out our self tour of the St Marten. I would definitely rent a Jeep there again when we visit in the future.

Best day of our cruise!

Ric_E, Sep 2023

Such an awesome time. Great way to experience the island. The entire process was quick and easy. From pickup at the port all the way through to dropping us back off. The jeep was so much fun to drive. We took the top off and just soaked in that island sun! The kids had a BLAST! Just download the entire island on Google maps for offline GPS and you're good to go! Highly recommend.

Explore on your own

Jeff_E, Aug 2023

Pickup and transportation was as advertised. The ability to explore on our own gave us the opportunity to do things and go places off the beaten path that bigger group tours can’t accommodate—allowing us to capture some amazing photos and memories.. The Jeep was in decent shape, however did have the check engine light illuminated. Upon completion, the deposit was returned, and we were given the option to explore downtown for a couple hours before being shuttled back to the port with plenty of time to spare. Overall a very good experience.

Must do in St. Maarten.

Marycielo_P, Aug 2023

Very easy online reservation. Easy to get to and hardly any waiting. Very polite and friendly service and we got to see the island in a barbie pink jeep. This was the way to go!
