 The Suzuki Ignis is a good rental choice
Assuming that you would like to find the most economical way to rent a car, while getting reasonable comfort and good safety, you don't need to look for expensive, full sized vehicles. Don't waste money on an 4WD SUV if you don't have friends living in a villa up a hill with an extremely steep drive way and you insist on visiting during a rainstorm. That's about the only use for 4 wheel drive you will find.
Economy cars all offer four doors, automatic transmission and air conditioning. No: you won't turn heads while cruising the Boulevard, but you wouldn't achieve this in a Ford Explorer at four times the price either. To be noticed on St Maarten, think Hummer or Porsche Cheyenne.
The cute Japanese or Korean compact cars offered by Travel Rent-A-Car are not well known in the US, but very popular in Europe. These are agile little vehicles, which might surprise you with their fun factor. Parking is very easy, the narrow roads are not intimidating anymore and you can't beat the rates. Great cars are the Kia Picanto and the Suzuki Ignis. These little compacts can accommodate 4 passengers and will give you perfectly adequate transportation during your stay.
If your group consists of four plus sized adults, you might want to go for an intermediate car, such as the Toyota Yaris or Toyota Corolla – about 20% more expensive than the smaller class.
The Hyundai Tuscon and Dahaitsu Terios are small SUVs, very well suited for the island's roads.
All cars offered by Travel Rent-A-Car are fully air conditioned, have automatic transmissions and are well maintained.
