Jeep Rentals – The Best Way to Explore St. John!

A rental vehicle is a must when visiting St John. Renting a jeep is sure to make your island travel that much easier and enjoyable.  Caribbean Villas of St. John has a small fleet of jeep wranglers that we rent to our guests.  We recommend reserving early!  If our jeeps are sold out, there are numerous jeep rental companies on St. John, and we are happy to send you, our recommendations. Or if you have a company, you enjoy working with, we welcome you contact them directly. 

We recommend renting a 4-wheel drive or All Wheel drive vehicle. Some island roads are rough and having the higher clearance offers better driving ability. St. John also has some very steep hills plus the concrete roads can become very slippery when it rains. You will appreciate having the added traction. When staying at a villa you will need a jeep to get around the island.  If you are considering not renting one, please make sure to ask us if a taxi is able to get to the villa you are considering as there are some areas on the island where taxis are not able to go.
