Car Rentals
Driving on the left, hairpin curves and no shoulders can make driving daunting in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

If you seek action and activity, St. Thomas is the place to be. However, its wise to avoid rush hour traffic (or park and walk) in and around Charlotte Amalie. You might also check out the cruise ship schedules to miss the peak traffic near Havensight or Crown Bay where the ships dock. Six or more ships could be in port on any one day in peak season (winter months).

Driving your own car you'll have the ability to stop at will to shop or linger for photos or picnics at historic points and secluded spots and beaches. Pick up a Drive the Virgins audio CD locally or at www.drivethevirgins.com

For handy printable maps of the USVI islands and towns, check out the Maps section.

Always buckle up and no cell phone use while driving! It's the law.
