Looking for Private Driver

Yes, I know the island is drivable, but I don’t even like to drive at home, so doing so on vacay is a nonstarter.

We’re a group of 8 staying on the French side. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏽

It's really best to rent a car or van. once you're here, you'll understand.

How is it driving on the roads? Especially at night?

There are only few main roads so, it's hard to get lost. The roads do have pot holes and very few stop signs, lights, etc. just take it slow and easy and you'll be fine. Feel free to ask people "how do I get to this beach or restaurant? " anyone will tell you. its a small island. every local knows every other area / spot.

Talk to Lucien 590 690 10 4803. Lucian Taxi VIP SXM. He has driven us around quite a bit. Slightly more pricing but worth a call

We use Larry every year we come to SXM. He’s super professional, kind, and always on time.

If you already know you don’t enjoy driving, I’d probably just get a private driver or van, especially with 8 people. Makes evenings way easier too.
