Rental cars are the primary mode of transportation for visitors staying on island. If any driving is expected off the major roads (such as to some of the more secluded beaches), a 4-wheel drive is recommended. Traffic on the island however has become a major problem, long traffic jams between Marigot, Philipsburg and the airport are common. Buses connect the towns but don't serve the island's beaches. They run from about 6:00 in the morning to midnight and can be boarded at bus stops in towns or flagged down anywhere along the roads.
