Have used Tropical car rental 2 years ago. Also read where people are very happy with Kenny's car rental. Would like to hear recent comments about both.
Thanks
Bill

Rented Kennys in May and couldnt of been happier. Liked getting my car right at the airport and not having to go off into the boonies to get it.

Frequent visitor to SXM and Kenny's Car Rental has never failed me!

Friendly service, reliable cars, competitive pricing, meets you at the airport with the car and no hassels.

Highly recommnded!

Used Tropical multiple times and was happy until a few bad rental experiences 2 years ago (airport no-show, bad brakes that required 2 hours of waiting at the base to fix, etc.) I then switched to Unity, who has been fantastic in every sense (last week, they came to the hotel in a driving rain storm to fix a car for a member of my party).

Don't have much experience with Kenny's, although I have only heard positive feedback.

I used Unity last year but the car I was given had constant squeeling from the brake sensors everytime they were applied. I got through the 2 weeks ok but that gets annoying and they knew about them when they gave me the car. I'm switching to Kenny's.

Doc,

We've used Lesley Bruce, Kenny's Car Rental for quite a while now and I have to say, he has never let us down. We've always gotten exactly what we asked for at prices which have been reasonable but the very best part for us has been being able to pick our car up AT the airport and then being done and on our way. We have, over many years, used other companies that involved going elsewhere for our cars and while it wasn't a MAJOR big deal, it was just one more step that had to be done before you could declare yourself "ON VACATION!!" Lesley's services eliminate that last chore. Plus, it's always nice to walk out the airport door and be greeted with that great big smile and the warm, "Hi, folks. Welcome to St. Maarten!"

Interested in renting approx. 2 cars for a day. Does anyone know if Kenny's car rental delivers to cruise ship port or any other rental comp. that is reliable?
We would like to spend the day in St. Maarten on our own. Anyone have any suggestions do I really need a car or is there any other means of transportation to and from shopping and beaches? Thanks for the help.

Laura,

Lesley Bruce is the owner of Kennys Car Rentals - named after his daughter, I believe. If you would like to e-mail him try:

bruce@sintmaarten.net

and I'm sure he'll respond to you quickly.
