01Pick up your car after landing at SBH

Hertz St Barth serves visitors arriving at St Barts Airport (SBH) with a practical rental process, local support, and vehicle categories adapted to narrow island roads. Saint Barthelemy has no public transport network, so a rental car is the standard way for visitors to reach their hotel or villa and move around the island during their stay. Remy de Haenen Airport sits in the St Jean area, only a short drive from most accommodation, which makes airport pick-up the fastest way to begin your trip. Booking online before arrival lets the team prepare your vehicle in advance, confirm your category, and keep the handover at the counter quick and simple after a connecting flight from St Maarten (SXM) or San Juan.

02Drive times from the airport

Distances on the island are short, but the roads are winding, so plan in minutes rather than kilometres. From Remy de Haenen Airport, St Jean beach is just a few minutes away, Gustavia and its port are roughly a 10-minute drive, Lorient about 10 minutes, the Baie des Flamands around 12–15 minutes, and the more remote areas such as Grand Cul de Sac, Toiny, or Colombier are typically within 15–20 minutes. Because almost everything is within a 20-minute radius, the size and comfort of your car matter more than range — choose for parking ease, luggage, and the steepness of your villa access rather than distance.
  • St Jean beach: a few minutes
  • Gustavia & port: about 10 minutes
  • Flamands: about 12–15 minutes
  • Grand Cul de Sac, Toiny, Colombier: 15–20 minutes

03Choose the right category for St Barts

Compact and electric cars such as the Wuling Yep are convenient for Gustavia and St Jean parking and for short, frequent trips around the island. SUVs and Jeep-style vehicles are useful for luggage, steep villa access, and beach roads, and they suit families or groups. Premium and convertible categories fit travellers who want a more refined island driving experience along the coastal roads. If you are unsure, the team can recommend a category based on your accommodation location, the number of passengers, and how much luggage you are bringing.

04What affects your rental price

Rates in St Barts depend mainly on the season, the length of your stay, and the vehicle category. Demand peaks sharply during the Christmas and New Year period and over winter, when minimum rental durations and special conditions can apply, so booking early is the best way to secure both availability and a fair rate for your dates. Airport pick-up and return is included at no extra charge; delivery to a hotel or villa elsewhere on the island is available for a fixed delivery fee of 40 EUR, confirmed during booking. Fuel is provided full and should be returned full to avoid a refuelling charge.

05Useful airport rental advice

Keep your flight details, driving licence, and a credit card with embossed (raised) numbers ready for pick-up, as the card is required as a guarantee in the main driver’s name. If your inbound flight is delayed or rescheduled, let the team know so your pick-up can be adjusted. If you are staying at a villa or hotel away from the airport, review delivery options and return conditions before confirming your reservation so the handover fits your arrival and departure times.
