St. Croix: Fast Facts

Getting Around:

Taxis are easy to obtain on St. Croix. In Christiansted, stop by the taxi stand on King Street near the Little Switzerland shop; in Frederiksted the taxi stand is located at Fort Frederik. Licensed taxi services bear a license plate number that begins with the letters "TP."

Rental Cars:

Rental cars are readily available; all you'll need is a valid U.S. driver's license. Remember, though, that driving is on the left side of the road.

Island hopping:

Traveling among the USVI islands is as easy as moving from city to city. You can hop a ferry or seaplane (between St. Croix and St. Thomas), and there's no need to show documents on arrival.

Entry Requirements:

U.S. citizens need proof of identity upon airport check-in, but incoming travelers do not need to pass through immigration. It's a good idea to bring along your passport, however, in case you decide to take a day trip to the nearby British Virgin Islands. Canadian and U.K. citizens need passports and photo ID.
