| 1 | Do we need to rent a car? |
| In general, we recommend a rental car for the convenience of shopping, travel to and from the airport, and sightseeing. It's especially important if you are renting a villa. (Resorts usually have shuttles and taxi service on the premises.) Rental cars range widely in price by class of vehicle. ESSV is proud to offer Avis and National car rentals. We recommend reserving your rental car with us before your trip to assure availability and best pricing.
When scheduled prior to your trip, ESSV can also arrange for private transportation to and from your villa to the airport. Shuttles and private cars with driver are available.
