City guide to St John’s

Welcome to St John’s, the capital and key port of Antigua and Barbuda. Located in the West Indies, this Caribbean island city can be found on the northeast part of Antigua. Visit the magnificent St. John’s Cathedral - its white towers stand tall in the city’s skyline. Learn about the island’s history at the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, and don’t miss the Friday and Saturday morning farmer’s market for fresh tropical fruit and folk crafts. If you time it right, you can experience Carnival, a ten-day festival held each summer.

From Antigua Airport

If arriving from VC Bird International Airport, head to your St. John’s rental car depot by taxi.

If you made arrangements to pick up your St. John’s rental car from the airport, kiosks are located across from the check-in counters in the main terminal under the canopy.

Driving from downtown St. John’s to the VC Bird International Airport

If you are heading to VC Bird International Airport from the city, the drive will take around 20 minutes. From Old Parham Road, head east and take a left onto Sir George Walter Highway. Next, turn right onto Pavilion Drive to arrive at the airport.

Driving tips for your St. John’s rental car

Fair warning, some of the roads on the island aren’t in perfect condition. Keep your eyes peeled on the road and follow these tips to drive safely in your car hire:

  • Drive on the left-hand side of the road and always wear your seatbelt.
  • Keep a road map in the car and make sure to have access to a GPS; the island roads aren’t well marked.
  • Watch out for goats and other livestock near the roads.
  • Stick to driving during daylight.
  • Always yield to pedestrians at crosswalks.

For more tips and rules of the road, check out the Antigua and Barbuda rental car page.

Parking options in downtown St. John’s and at the Airport

Find paid parking areas in downtown St. John’s as well as on-street parking for cheap rates. Don’t park where yellow lines border the road edge and avoid parking near bus stops, pedestrian crossings and school entrances, to avoid fines.

If you need to park at VC Bird International Airport, park in the lot west of the terminal building where you will pay $3 EC per hour.

What our customers say

IT WAS VERY EASY TO MAKE BOOKING
I WILL RECOMENDE GOSEE TO MY FRIENDS
Mileta Markovic
She was awesome, great lady over the phone, She explained everything in detail.
Anthony Unabor
Having had an awful service with QEEB, despite having booked a car months ago, we needed to look for a new provider. It is only 3 weeks until our holiday so I was worried that we would face an expensive car hire. GoSee had reasonably priced cars and the experience was hugely different to that of QEEB.
GoSee website was easy to use, straight forward and we were able to save a quote for the car we were interested in. A member of the GoSee team called that evening to make sure we had all of the information we needed and she sent us through the quote again... Thank you for making a stressful situation much more tolerable!!
