Arrive & Drive Away

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!

Amazing customer service, quality vehicles and pricing. By far the best in St Maarten, book with no worries!

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.

I have coming to St. Maarten for over 30 years, and we have rented from numerous car rental agencies(Leisure, Ace, Thrifty) and this was the first year we tried StarLite and it was the best experience by far! First off the communication was exceptional prior to our arrival and to confirm our rental(unlike Thrifty). We were met at the airport, where they took us to the car on site(versus getting in another vehicle to take you to an offsite office). Exceptionally friendly staff, our car was practically brand new-only one other renter. Drop off was quick and easy, with NO HASSLES! Won’t use anyone else for our trip back next year. Also, the final bill was exactly what was quoted-No Hidden Fees!

Highly Recommend Renting from Starlite. On time and reasonably priced.
Paid Prior to Ariving by Cruise Ship. They meet you a short walk outside the Port. Staff was friendly and provided useful information about the island.

I've rented from them for several years -- easy airport car pick up and drop off. Wonderful friendly service. Highly recommend!

Outstanding. They meet you with the car at the front door of the airport and you drop it off with them at the "departures" door when you return it. They were friendly. The process was easy. The vehicle was exactly as described. This was easier than Hertz or Avis.

Net terug van een geweldige vakantie op sint maarten, bijzonder blij met de geweldige service van starlite! Bij aankomst op 23 december bleek dat ik de auto pas vanaf 24 december gereserveerd had....de agent loste dit probleem direct op een hele relaxte manier op zodat ik na een uur alsnog vanaf 23 december de beschikking had over de auto. Los daarvan was de auto prima en alle communicatie met alle agents van Starlite heel prettig. Ook supervlotte en sympathieke afhandeling bij inleveren van de auto. Complimenten!

I had a fantastic experience with Starlite Car Rental during my trip to St. Maarten! From the moment I landed, their friendly staff was there to meet me right at the airport—no lines or waiting, which made the whole process so smooth and stress-free. Picking up and dropping off the car was incredibly fast and easy. While the car had a few minor scratches on the exterior, the interior was spotless and well-maintained. Overall, I highly recommend Starlite Car Rental for anyone visiting St. Maarten. Great service and convenience!

Rented vehicles on 2 occassions ,service is great !
Highly recommend!

If you are traveling to St. Maarten and in need of a car rental you can't get any better than Starlite! Shanyra and the team took care of us. Thee booking was easy, they met us right beside the cruise terminal. The car was clean, modern, and a nice smooth ride for us and our kids. We were a little late getting back due to bad accidents and construction and they were very understanding which we appreciated. Turning it back over to them was quick and easy so we could get back to the ship in a timely manner. No hidden costs or charges, you pay what you are quoted! Great experience, highly recommend them, would definitely use them again when we come back to St. Maarten!

Starlite is your number 1 car rental company in St. Martin. The process from beginning to end is flawless. They are easy to reach and always responsive. They meet at arrivals and again at departures. Its very easy.

They went above and beyond for me as well; explaining how to get to the air bnb. Giving me a map and taking the time to explain directions clearly.

HIGHLY recommend these guys. They are great. You will not be disappointed.

Just returned from ST.MARTEN 10/5/24 & as always, was taken care of by the best car rental in the Caribbean, "Starlite"...They are efficiant, courtious, up-to-date cars & great prices..I've been using them for decades & highly recommend them to all...Their pick-up & drop-off at the airport is a blessing...My highest praise for STARLITE CAR RENTAL!

We were in St Maarten for the day from a cruise ship and would HIGHLY recommend Starlite Car Rental- St.Maarten. They met us right outside of the cruise port and pickup could not have been easier. Drop off went equally well. We had car trouble of our own doing and the company could not have been more responsive and helpful. We will be going back to St. Maarten in the future and will def be using Starlite Car Rental- St.Maarten again!

Totally hassle free experience. The lovely person we dropped the car off with came running back across the airport to return my phone holder which I'd left in the car - I was very grateful!

This was my second time using StarLite. Easy no charge booking, notified before landing to validate my flight time, then charged prior to landing. My car was waiting right outside, clean and ready to go. Quick walkaround inspection, signing and we were off! Same for return. The same gentlemen was waiting for me at the car rental return and I was done in a minute, right in front of the terminal. Will definitely use StarLite on my next trip.

Great big Thank you to Crystal and her staff. I highly recommend StarLite. Not only are they conveniently located at airport for easy transfer, they go way beyond to accommodate. I realized once back at airport that I accidentally left my bag at my hotel. I called them to see if I left in car, and on their own, offered and went back to get my bag and brought it to me so I did not miss my flight. I will use them every time I go back. Thank you again.

StarLite did a great job with our car rental in St. Maarten. Picking up the car was close to the cruise terminal and drop off was quick and easy. Car was clean and in good condition.

Just returned from a week in Saint Martin and used Starlite. From beginning to end excellent service and communication. Was so easy to be picked up right in front of the airport and drop the car off at the door before we left. Thanks to Shanyra and the Starlite team!

Great place to rent a car.We called them at a last moment and they were able to accommodate us and drop a car at our hotel.I will rent a car from.them everytime we come back here..

From start to finish everything was spot on. Communication was the best I have seen in a company in a long time. Agents were there to greet us both upon arrival and again upon departure. The price was more than fair as were the terms. We will use Starlite again on our next visit.

Great company. Very responsive when I booked online. They email with consistency, but not too much. They mail you directions with pictures. The associates who met us at the pick up lot (near the cruise terminal in St. Martin) were both really professional and nice. Liked them both a lot. Car was clean, great. I timed how long it took me to walk from where you exit the cruise terminal and start walking down the sidewalk along the road to the pick up lot, and it was 5 min. Or less walking. Lots of people going in same direction (toward Phillipsburg). Don’t think twice, they had the best prices and were totally reliable. NOTE!! Make SURE you know what time your ship docks, then book your car pick up for 30 min after that. Don’t try to book your pick up at the same time your ship docks.

Excellent car rental agency. Quality cars, very service oriented, responsive people.

We loved starlite! All emails were answered VERY fast. We came into the port and a representative met us at the designated time. Then when dropped off they met us at the designated time. Hey we’re very friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother rental.

Excellent and reliable car rental on SXM! Would not rent from anyone else!

Easy experience renting a car from Starlite on our recent cruise. We walked a short distance out of the port and were met with our rental car. At the end of the day we we dropped the car off where we picked it up and got a ride back to the port. Highly recommend starlite rentals! Nice new clean vehicles.

What a great experience from start to finish. Our flight was delayed by 6 hours, but that was no problem, we were met at the airport and drove away in a brand new, full-sized vehicle. I will definitely be renting from them again!

Excellent rental company. Friendly , no hassle service. Will definitely use Star Lite again!! Terrific pricing and overall company attitude!!👍 Absolutely 5 stars!

Going with a new company that you have never had the opportunity of using is always scary. I took a chance on this car rental company and I couldn’t have been happier that we did. The most professional kind people to work with. From the moment my wife, kids and I got out of the airport they carried our bags to the car and had us loaded and on our way in less then 15 min. Same as the drop off. I will not choose any other company when we return in 2024. Thank you kindly for everything you guys do. It is very much appreciated.

Excellent service and great price! Sam walked me through how to get a rental car delivered to our resort and they came early with the rental car nice and clean and ready to go!

Everything was great. Easy airport pickup and drop off.

Starlite Car Rental in SXM is fantastic. You book your rental online on their website. You will hear from someone shortly after for any info they need or to email you your confirmation. When you arrive on the island they meet you right at the airport. You don't have to take a shuttle. You take care of the paperwork right there and drive away. Then they meet you back there when you return your rental. You are always greeted with a smile and the girls in the office is fantastic. Always available by email or phone number if you need assistance with your rental. Don't give it another thought! Rent with Starlite, you will be glad you did!

I wrote this original review 2 years ago. I still use Starlite every time I visit the island. Which is a few times a year. They are still fantastic as always. You can get a quote and make reservations on line and they meet you at the airport. It really doesn't get much easier!

Shanyra and her team are a pleasure to do business with. I have been using Starlite for many years and always had a great experience.

Very convenient and attentive, made for a great experience. New vehicle, no issues, will absolutely rent again!

I have rented from StarLite on multiple occasions including 2023. The convenient, personal service is unbeatable. I will be renting from this company on my next trip to St Maarten.

Great service, with pick-up and drop-off at the airport, excellent price, new and very clean vehicle and awesome communications throughout the process. You can't go wrong with StarLite Car Rental.

Starlite has excellent service and they go above and beyond to help a customer. We arrived very early to drop off our car when leaving the island and Starlite arrived and found us inside the airport to do a key swap. Other companies require you to drop off at their separate facilities near the airport, but Starlite will greet you at the airport entrance and hand over the vehicle. Very convenient. Service is top notch.

Service was AMAZING!!! This will be our car rental company moving forward. We loved the convenience of pick up and drop off at the airport, this easily saved us over 2 hours and gave us more time to enjoy the island.
The representatives at pick up and drop off were friendly, responsive and were a pleasure interacting with.
You really can’t beat the price for the convenience it offered.
Car was exactly as described, clean and in amazing condition.
We have nothing but positive things to say about StarLite.
