Junie's Car Rental of Anguilla
Family-run wheels with island hospitality baked in
Why Go
Anguilla is one of those Caribbean islands where the best beaches, barbecue shacks, and sunset bars are scattered along quiet back roads ΓÇö and a rental car is the only real way to string them together. Junie's has become the go-to for travelers who want the keys handed over with a smile (and a hand-drawn map of where to eat that night), rather than a clipboard and a queue.
The Experience
Instead of trekking to a rental counter, Junie's meets you where you land: the Blowing Point Ferry Terminal if you're arriving from St. Martin, Clayton J. Lloyd Airport if you're flying in direct, or right at your villa or hotel. A rep walks you through the car, sorts your temporary Anguillan driver's permit, and ΓÇö this is the part regulars rave about ΓÇö spends a few extra minutes marking their favorite beach bars, roti spots, and the shortcut to Shoal Bay on your map. The fleet skews toward sturdy SUVs and compact crossovers, well-suited to the island's occasionally pothole-pocked side roads, and the whole handover typically takes less than fifteen minutes. Drop-off is just as painless: leave the car at your departure point, hand over the keys, and go.
What to Try
Ask for an SUV if you're planning to chase the more remote east-end beaches like Savannah Bay or Captain's Bay, where the last stretch of road turns to sand and gravel. Request the temporary driver's permit be arranged in advance (Junie's handles it for a small government fee) so you're not filling out paperwork on arrival. And take them up on the offer to deliver the car directly to your villa ΓÇö it costs the same and saves a taxi fare.
Insider Tip
Text or WhatsApp them a day or two before arrival with your flight or ferry details rather than relying on email ΓÇö response times are noticeably faster, and they'll confirm the meet-up spot and rep's name so you know exactly who to look for curbside.
The Practical Stuff
Based at Blowing Point Ferry Terminal (AI-2640) with 24/7 meet-and-greet service at the ferry, airport, hotels, and villas across the island. Reachable at +1 264-235-6114 or +1 264-235-3720, or info@juniescarrental.com. Anguilla requires a temporary local driver's permit (around US$25) on top of your home license; Junie's can process this at pickup. Driving is on the left. Cash and major cards accepted; advance booking strongly recommended in high season (DecΓÇôApr).
Pair It With
- Shoal Bay East — The island's postcard beach is a 20-minute drive from Blowing Point ΓÇö having your own car means arriving before the day-trippers and staying past sunset at Gwen's Reggae Grill.
- Blowing Point Ferry Terminal — If you're day-tripping to St. Martin/Sint Maarten, Junie's location right at the ferry makes it painless to drop the car, hop the boat, and pick up again on return.
- Sandy Ground — The strip of beach bars and seafood shacks (Elvis', Roy's, Johnno's) is best reached by car after dark, and Junie's team will happily flag their current favorites.
- Heritage Collection Museum — Tucked in East End and hard to reach without wheels, this tiny museum is the fastest way to understand Anguilla's boat-building and salt-pond history before you hit the beaches.
