I'm considering moving to STT. I want to do a PMV at the end of April-beginning of May for about a month. I wanted some advice on whether or not to rent a vehicle while there. If so, does anybody have any suggestions for rental agencies? Thanks in advance.

One caveat: everything shuts down the last week of April for Carnival. Government offices are closed and many business owners take time off.

Thanks for the heads up. When is Carnival? I was thinking of coming down the week of the 16th and staying for a month.

Here's the schedule from the Vacation Board. The main part of Carnival is the last week.

Thanks Trade and East Ender. It sounds like fun...but I guess if I'm going to get a car it will have to be as soon as I get in. I've ridden the taxis before but only as a tourist from a cruise excursion so I have no idea of the rates. Do you think it would be more economical to rent or to take the taxi?

Taxi rates are very high. They are all per person, regardless of how many are in the van. Out here on the east end, I know of one route, one mile, that costs $4 per person. There is a safari and bus system but it rarely goes where you want to go!

LOL, sounds convenient. I'm going to look into rates for rentals. Thanks again Trader.
