Review
For St Kitts car rentals we recommend TDC Thrifty Car Rentals because of their solid and reliable service over many years. TDC Thrifty is part of TDC, one of the biggest companies in St Kitts, which has a sister company on Nevis.

A service well worth bearing in mind is that if you are hiring a car from TDC in St Kitts and wish to go to explore Nevis for the day, then you can trade in the car and another will be provided for you on the other island. You simply drop off your car at the ferry dock or at the airport and they will arrange for a car to be waiting for you when you arrive on Nevis.

TDC Thrifty’s parent company is TDC. It is one of St Kitts and Nevis’s largest trading companies and has been in business for over thirty years. It has business in many sectors, including general automobiles and spare parts, general importation in the islands (of clothing, manufactured good and building materials), the financial sector, savings and insurance businesses.

Delivery
TDC Car Rentals will deliver anywhere on the island and work closely with the hotels and villa management companies to ensure that everything goes smoothly. If your flight is delayed and you are not going to reach your accommodation in time for delivery, TDC will know about it and make sensible adjustments to the arrangements.

We recommend that you take delivery of your car at your accommodation rather than at the airport, unless you know your way around St Kitts well. At the end of your hire period, it is best to return the car at the airport. There is a small charge for collecting cars from villas.

Reservations
We recommend that you book in advance if you are intending to hire a car for longer than three days, particularly if you are travelling during the main winter season from 15 December until after Easter. Other busy periods for St Kitts car hire companies are over Thanksgiving, during the Music Festival and August. The best idea is to book your car at the same time as you book your accommodation or holiday.

To book or make further enquiries or make a reservation now, please contact TDC Thrifty directly via the web, telephone or email links at the top of the page.
