It is strongly recommended that you rent a vehicle and that it be a 4WD vehicle. There are very few vacation homes for rent on St. John within walking distance to towns and attractions. Taxi fares will add up quickly, limit your freedom to explore the island, and there are some villas where taxis will not go. If you are considering not renting a vehicle but aren’t sure, please consult with our Concierge so they can let you know how this may impact your stay.
We do drive on the left in the U.S. Virgin Islands but driving on St. John is a breeze. All of the roads on the island are either one way or two lanes (no major highways here) and the speed limit island wide is 20 mph (10 mph in town), so you are never making a fast, complicated decision. In fact, there really isn’t much else you will need to think about other than buckle up, do not use no cell phones while driving, and stay LEFT!
