When you enter the terminal, collect your complementary welcome Flavored Cruzan Rum shot and grab your checked luggage. Upon exiting the baggage claim area, you should be greeted immediately by a taxi driver who will direct you to a taxi (a van, not a yellow NY style cab). All you have to say is how many are in your group & where you are going (Red Hook ferry dock). Taxi drivers are usually cash only. The prices should be listed on a board outside the airport ($17/ person + $6/ bag; no charge for backpacks). Now...sit back, relax, ask the taxi driver to please turn up the A/C, and enjoy the ride.

We drive on the left and it's challenging with the hills and sharp curves.
Staying on St Thomas is another option but we do not recommend this as a first choice. Time and cost getting to and from St John could add up and make it more costly than just the price of the stay.
