Arrive, Walk Out, Grab Keys, Drive

Fantastisch autoverhuurbedrijf! Heel vriendelijk en professioneel personeel, prachtige auto's met Android Auto of Apple Carplay. Op aanraden van deze vriendelijke mensen maps.me op mijn telefoon geïnstalleerd zodat je zonder dataverbinding het hele eiland makkelijk kunt verkennen. Ook een prima haal en brengservice van de auto. Dit soort persoonlijke aandacht maakt dit bedrijf bijzonder.

This is one of the good independent car rental places on the island. Very convenient, a very short walk from the airport and they will meet you outside the terminal if you arrange it in advance. Friendly service, fair prices, well maintained vehicles.

I can’t recommend this company highly enough. Communication before our rental was excellent! We were arriving by cruise ship and wanted to make the most of our short time on the island. The agent met us just a short walk from the port, right on time, and the paperwork and walkthrough were quick and easy.

We spent an amazing day exploring multiple beaches on both the Dutch and French sides, visited two forts, and stopped at a beautiful lookout point. Our all‑aboard time was 5:30, so we left Maho Beach at 4:00 thinking we had plenty of time to return the car… we were wrong! The 14 km drive took two hours due to traffic.

Around 5:00 we realized we wouldn’t make it back in time. We called the office, and they immediately stepped in—they contacted our ship, arranged for the departure to be delayed, met us inside the port gate, and even had a golf cart ready to escort us straight to the ship. Without their help, we absolutely would have been stranded.

These are genuinely caring people who go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. Truly outstanding service and a day we’ll never forget.

I can't praise these guys enough! The communication before the rental was great. We were on a Cruise and wanted to make sure we were able to get the most out of our time on the Island. The agent met us a shout walk from the port and was right on time. The paperwork and walk through were quick. We enjoid our day visiting multiple beaches on both the Dutch and French side, 2 forts, and a lookout point. Our all aboard time was 5:30 so we left Maho beach at 4pm thinking we had plenty of time to return the car before getting back on the ship... We Were Wrong! The short 14km drive took 2 hours! At about 5pm we realized we were going to be late so we called the office and they contacted our ship and delayed the ships departure. They met us inside the gate and had a golf cart ready to escort us back to the ship. Without their help we surely would have been stranded on the Island! You can tell these are genuine caring people that want to make sure you have a great memory!

I rented for one week in early January. Very smooth. Met at airport, I dropped car off at their office. Immediate ride back to airport. uncrowded. nice people.

StarLite rental car was incredible. I have had multiple car rental experiences in Sint Maarten, this was my first time renting from StarLite and it won’t be my last. From the second we got off the plane we were taken care of. They met us and helped us with our bags directly to our car. Every employee was lovely and helpful. They were meticulous when they turned the car over to us and made sure we took videos from each angle. Our flight got cancelled due to air space closures and they had no issue extending our rental. The drop off experience was also seamless. The messaged us the day before to confirm our drop off time and drove us in the car we rented to the airport. This is very different than their competitors as they use shuttles. Thank you again for the wonderful car rental experience and exceptional customer service!

We love using StarLite when visiting Saint Martin. The Jimmy was in great condition and the perfect size to navigate the island. Plenty of space for 2 checked bags and carry-ons.

Much better experience than Alamo, Thrifty, or Enterprise. They are organized, professional, and reliable. Family company in its 3rd generation. We stayed in communication with them over WhatsApp which was very efficient(our flight was delayed 3 hours and Starlite patiently handled it). We walked out of baggage claim and their man was waiting for us with a sign. They walked us 3 minutes to our car (which was clean & new) and explained everything, and handed us the keys. Very friendly staff. They track your flight arrival time. Worth the extra price to go with them.

The Absolute Best Rental Car Company!
We rented a car for 2 weeks during the Christmas and New Year holiday. It was practically brand new with plastic still on the visors, and seat belt connections, and was perfect for navigating the island in busy traffic.
On our day of scheduled departure (1/3/26), the entire Caribbean was placed under a no-fly order. Our flight was cancelled, we had to find a new airbnb, but Starlite let us extend our rental with no hassle.
Our flight was rebooked for a week later, but we continued to return to the airport for an opportunity to fly back on standby.
We couldn't return the car properly, because we had no idea of knowing when we would fly out. Once we notified Starlite that we had been allowed to depart, they helped us with returning the car AND only charged us for the days we actually used the car.
This is an AMAZING team, with EXCELLENT customer service.
I wish Starlite was an option everywhere I travel. I would choose them 100% of the time.

The crew here is funny, friendly and helpful. The prices of the rental are in American, so if your from Canada don't be fooled by the website (that they need to look into). We rented the car for 14 dayz and it was great. Be aware of the sand that you put in the car with your feet especially the thicker sand from mullet bay. I recommend giving it a quick vacuum or you can pay the 50$ for clean up. Also take pictures of any scratches or marks on the vehicle before you leave the lot. This is information for anyone renting in st martin. Its a fast part environment and car rental is a must. This makes it easier for you when you return it. If you have issues with the vehicle once you have rented it and something goes wrong for whatever reason, do not hesitate to contact them they will do their best to accommodate you. Remember you are on an island be patient when driving its a laid back environment, you are here to relax. Thanx again Starlight crew we will be back.

StarLite provides incredible service! I had a nightmare arrival with lost luggage, but their team was waiting for me outside the terminal and made the rental process effortless. The return was just as quick and convenient. If you want a stress-free rental at SXM, go with StarLite. Truly the easiest rental experience ever!

Very convenient and easy experience for me! Definetly will be using your services again!

Thank you so much to Mario! Starlite has been our go-to rental service for the last two years, and they never disappoint. This last trip, we absentmindedly forgot about our Airbnb trash that we meant to dump that was in the back of the car. Mario was extremely forgiving and accommodating, and offered to take care of it for us. We were a bit embarrassed but Mario assured us it was no big deal.

This is the level of service and friendliness you can expect from starlight. Apart from the convenience of your car being delivered to the airport, the staff are also incredibly professional and friendly. We could not be more impressed. This experience just reaffirms why we only rent from Starlite in SXM.

Recently rented a car (for 10 days) from Starlite and had a smooth experience. Staff met us at the airport, escorted us out to the car and we were off within minutes. No trouble with the car during our stay. Upon returning to drop the car off, once again a smooth process and we were on our way into the airport with no issues. Mario provided excellent customer service. No hesitation in using Starlite again when we return to St. Martin. Service was excellent and the cost was the lowest quote I got from all the car companies I looked into. Thanks Mario!

We rented a Hyundai grand i10 for a week from starlite. Unfortunately someone stole a part off of our car but Sherry was very helpful to get this taken care of with minimal cost to us for our inconvenience. Overall it was a great experience and would recommend them for your vehicle needs while in St Marteen.

We were here for the day from a cruise ship. We wanted a car so that we could explore on our own time. This car rental agency made the process SO easy. They had the car waiting for us as we got off the ship, right where they said they would be. The process was seamless. The car was great- reliable and hooked up to blue tooth, great ac. The return process was also very smooth. Customer service was top notch at the port and also beforehand while reserving. Highly recommend!

Seamless rental experience. Pickup at the airport was a breeze and there was absolutely no pressure to purchase any additional insurance coverage or upselling to a more expensive model. Amex is accepted and payment was clearly documented and the deposit procedure was outlined before I drove off. Car itself was clean, drove without any issues and was perfect for my stay. Drop off instructions were provided a few days before departure and were easy to follow. Don't hesitate to rent from this local company!

Great service! Picked us up at indicated time which was close walk from cruise port. Very friendly staff! When we dropped it off the agent was waiting for us even though we were a bit early and then dropped us off at cruise port. No issues with car! Would definitely recommend if you want to rent a car in St. Martin!

So much better than any other rental car experience I've had. Staff are friendly and on-time. Cars are clean, well-maintained, and as-advertised. The car they deliver to you is the model you are expecting or very similar.

Also, if you happen to get minor damage on the car like we did, they take it to a reasonably priced shop and send you the full quote. There was no over-charging or shady business. And they sent over all the necessary documentation from themselves and the shop that was required by my insurance to get reimbursed.

This is the only place we will rent from in SXM.

We went to St. Marten twice this year - in June and August, using Starlite for the first time. Both times we experienced the best customer service from start to finish. We got a four door jeep wrangler both times. I changed the reservation multiple times and texted the company many times and they agreed to my changes without hesitation every time. They were amazing and we will never use a different company when renting a car. Great people and great price! Thank you to Shanyra, Shandell, and Mario specifically - and all the rest of the staff that I didn't get their names.

I rented a car from Starlite for my trip to St. Maarten. I was so happy with the communication and the service. It was easy to book, pay, pick up, AND drop off the car. No waiting in lines. I walked out of the airport and they were waiting for me with a sign and took me right to the car. When I got back to the airport upon departure, I went to the wrong place, and the agent appeared out of nowhere and took me to the departure gate and took the car (I didn't ready the departure instructions correctly!). I would HIGHLY recommend Starlite. They were the best car rental experience I have ever had, and I travel a lot!

I received outstanding service from StarLite! Pick-up was easy and the gentleman who escorted us to our car was friendly and very informative. The vehicle was perfect for our needs and a very comfortable ride. Most importantly, they were very accommodating when I had to cut our visit short due to a medical emergency. They expedited the turn in process and were very kind in adjusting the contract and billing appropriately. I highly recommend them and will use them again when we return to St Maarten.

This was a solid 5 star operation. Pick up location… from the port is a five minute walk … to the nearest public parking lot where a starlite agent waited for us. Car was new, very clean and comfortable. Drop off was easy and convenient. Renting a car for the day was a great way to explore the island. Highly recommend!! (Note: they pre arrange the drop off time at the same lot then drive you to the port. If you later decide to drop off early, I recommend calling ahead by about 30 minutes. They send an agent to meet you so it’s best to coordinate ahead of time)

Excellent experience with Carlite Car Rental in Sint Maarten! The booking was easy, the car was clean and reliable, and the service was outstanding—friendly, professional, and efficient. Pick-up and drop-off were quick and hassle-free, with no hidden fees. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a smooth car rental experience on the island!

This was my first time renting from Starlite and it was top notch service! From easily booking online to smooth pickup and drop-off, I highly recommend them and will be renting from them moving forward.

Best rental car company. They provide exceptional service. Will meet you at arrivals with your vehicle and you can return the car back at departures.
24/7 emergency service
Staff are professional, friendly and provide great customer service.
We have used them for decades. The staff go the extra mile to make sure they have satisfied customers. We highly recommend Starlite car rental.

We reserved a Toyota Siena minivan for our family of 5 - all adults, with luggage. We wanted space. The customer service rep met us at the gate. Easy to spot the red shirt. He brought us to our car which was an easy walk to the parking lot. We inspected the minivan and took pictures, and the CSR noted any dents or damage that we spotted. He suggested we download the app called Mapsme once we have wifi . I suggest downloading that prior to your vacation so you will have directions immediately. Luckily Waze worked for us and we were able to navigate to our hotel which was a long drive from the airport with many roundabouts. Anyhow, that evening we had trouble with the minivan. I think there was something wrong with the transmission. We could barely make it up the hill. The dash kept saying that we were depressing the gas and brake at the same time, but we weren't. The engine would cut out and we would roll backwards a bit. We inched our way up the hill and made it back to our resort. We called StarLite that evening. They were apologetic and asked if we needed a new car that evening. We did not. The next morning they arrived with an almost new Santa Fe. The return to the airport was equally easy. I recommend using StarLite. The price was better than the big guys and the customer service was top notch.

We rented from them in July, the experience was seamless! Super helpful and the car was in great shape. We needed a car for 6 adults and we rented the Kia carnival it was perfect ! I would highly recommend Starlite. Very affordable as well. Easiest car rental for us! Thanks

So glad we used StarLite car rental! The best rental car service I've experienced in both price and customer service. I definitely recommend using StarLite and will be back if we return to St Maarten.

From start to finish, Starlite provided quite possibly the best car rental experience imaginable. Pickup took no more than 10 minutes, drop off was a breeze. They helped us to and from the car, and best of all there we NO hidden fees.
Also worth mentioning that In the past, I’ve had rental associates try to push CDWs and unnecessary insurance on me, not with Starlite!
Do not hesitate to book with these guys, you won’t regret it.

I rented a Jeep Wrangler HT for the whole week and it was the best decision I made. I highly recommend renting a car to explore this beautiful island. Starlite made this whole process so easy and accommodating. I had someone waiting for me when I arrived, assisted with my luggage and let’s not forget about drop off. Pulled up and yet again, someone from their team was there. I will always use Starlite. Hands down best experience!!!

New car in perfect condition. Rental prices are lower than other rental companies. Fast and courteous service from the local team, with convenient WhatsApp communication. I highly recommend StartLite in Saint Marteen.

First class experience & great prices.
Met in arrivals, no transfers. Car ready and in the car park, all sorted and on the move in minutes.
Fabulous customer service even when discussing the rental and during.
Drop off simple again right at the airport.
Probably the best care hire experience I have ever had.

In all of my travels around the world.. StarLight made the entire process simple. The best prices, car was nice and clean, no hidden fees. I arrived on the 14th of May and they were waiting at the airport with my car when I arrived, and they were also there waiting upon my departure. No shuttle hassle, I walked out front and they walked me to the car and gave me the keys. Very friendly and professional. I wish I could give more stars!

Agent met us as we exited the airport. Car was ready and in great shape. When we returned to the airport, an agent met us at the terminal for the car return. Couldn't have been easier.

Super service et très bon prix. Je recommande fortement

We recently rented a vehicle from StarLite during our trip to Sint Marteen. I can say that this was a super convenient experience to pick up and drop off our rental. The staff was kind and courtesy to us and very helpful. I would recommend giving them a try if you're looking for a rental on the island. The price was very competitive and the service was good.

The service was exceptional. Everyone was friendly and helpful. A special shout out to Ackheem. He went above and beyond to help us. The car needed some help. It was a Hundai Grand and the shockes were gone plus it struggled to get up hills. Other than that, we would recommend this company, just a different car.

What a perfect experience...yet again! Myself and my extended family have been visiting St. Maarten annually for decades and we exclusively use Starlight rental. The service is excellent! Prices very reasonable. They meet us at the airport as we exit. No lines. No delays. They help us with our bags and paperwork is presented with the keys. Same easy drop off! We are met at departures, helped with our bags, hand the keys off and we are on our way. Friendly, warm, efficient and dependable service with a warm smile!! Could not more highly recommend!

For this trip, we decided to support a locally owned company instead of one of the corporate behemoths. StarLite gave us a low daily rate for a compact car. The car was clean, unscathed and in excellent running condition. Getting the car was easy because they keep their cars in the airport parking lot less than 100 meters from the terminal exit. Same with the return. The whole rental and return process was typical and smooth. And we got an excellent local restaurant recommendation from the guy who gave us the car.

I've rented from many car rental companies during my travels to SXM, and Starlite has easily been the best. They are friendly, responsive, and offer great pricing with well-maintained vehicles. The entire process was seamless, making them my preferred choice on the island. I highly recommend them to all my family and friends visiting SXM and look forward to renting from them again on our next trip!

Great experience with StarLite! Communication before hand, pick up and drop off was all a breeze. Highly recommend using this company when traveling to Sint Maarten.

Excellent service at airport. No rental counters inside terminal, representatives in uniform meet you as you leave the customs and arrival area. At first, it feels like a hustle, but we soon realized that all the rental companies work this way. The inside rep handed us off to a outside rep that walked us to our car in the main parking lot just a few steps from the terminal. All the paperwork and inspection of the vehicle was done in the parking lot. Very friendly. Wait for the rental attendant to get you out of the parking lot with their pass. When you return, they open the entry gate for you with their pass. It's a bit confusing, but it works. With discount code, price was good. If ever back on the island, we will definitely rent from Starlite.

Starlite was AMAZING. They met us at the arrival area, easy walk over to the pickup spot - it was fast and easy... The agent was so sweet and helpful. Return was just as easy and fast. We loved our perfect sized car for the 2 of us. We would definitely rent from Starlite again!

This company deserves every one of their five star ratings. From the moment we made the reservation, through pick up and drop off, they were extremely professional and responsive. It was an easy walk from the cruise terminal to get the car, and the representative was there waiting for us as promised. We were on our way in minutes. We got caught in traffic on the way back and were running late, and the rep offered to meet us at the gate to the terminal to save time, which likely prevented us from missing the ship. I can't say enough good things about the company and will definitely use them next time we're in Sint Maarten. As a note, it took us about 1.5 hours to make it back the 14km from Mullet Bay Beach on a Friday afternoon. If you go there and need to catch a ship, leave early!

We rented a car from Starlite on Feb 3, 2025 and were extremely happy with service. They met us as instructed near the cruise ship terminal. The car was very nice, new. When we returned they drove us back to the Cruise Ship. Would definitely recommend and would use again.

Starlite does it again!! First off, we are not the easiest customer to deal with. I had a special situation where I didn't need a car for our whole duration of our stay. So, we rented the first vehicle, could not be easer with pick up and drop off, literally took minutes. Then we needed a few day break and picked up another one for the rest of our stay. Starlite went above and beyond with service levels we have not seen with car rental companies in St. Maarten. This was our 23rd trip to the island and Starlite just keeps getting better. We are thrilled with them and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
