RENTAL JEEP: Book rental Jeep early, as demand is high. A rental vehicle is needed to get around the island, selecting a vehicle with 4-wheel drive is HIGHLY recommended for traveling mountain roads throughout the island. Roads on St. John can be described as steep, curvy and/or rough throughout the island. Uber and Lyft do not exist here so your own Jeep is recommended. FOR CLARIFICATION, since most beaches, hikes, restaurants, stores, attractions, etc. in St. John are not accessible within easy or quick walking distance from a vast majority or vacation rentals, a 4x4 vehicle is recommended for exploring St. John. Signed rental agreement of house rules required.
