The Dutch side of the island is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which means it has a king — Willem-Alexander. Why does that matter to a car rental company? Because whenever a royal visit is announced, the administration suddenly finds the budget to clean up the island and fill the potholes.
We care about road conditions because we love the cars we rent out and want them running smoothly for you. Every pothole is a small worry — we know one of our cars will eventually meet it. Recently the Dutch-side roads were professionally repaired; the French side, a republic with no king to impress, has let its roads slide.
So please pass potholes and speed bumps with respect for the car. Careful drivers are exactly how we keep our rates low.
