GETTING AROUND THE LOCAL WAY
St. Thomas Transportation
Renting a car, hopping a safari bus or catching the ferry to St. John? Here's the straight talk on getting around St. Thomas, from someone who drives these roads every day. No franchise fluff and no upsells, just what actually works and who I'd actually use.
FIRST THINGS FIRST
Do you even need a car? Honestly, a lot of visitors don't. If you're staying put at a resort or sticking near town, taxis and safari buses often beat the cost and hassle of renting and parking. Here's how to decide before you spend a dime.
