The Kia Sorento has a spacious interior within a sporty midsize SUV. A third row of seating makes this vehicle accommodate up to seven passengers — or fold the third row down to use the cargo space for luggage and extra storage.
The Kia Sorento is ranked #1 in Midsize SUVs in U.S. News and World Report. Their write-up calls the Sorento “upscale and comfortable”. The interior is attractive and made using premium materials throughout the cabin. Some reviewers even say it could fit in to the luxury SUV category.
Centerline Car Rentals has an assortment of Kia Sorentos in our rental car fleet.
Another model in our new fleet is on island — the 2021 Ford Explorer XLT Sport. Not only is it sleek, the Explorer is a smooth ride, cargo friendly, and ultra comfortable. Reserve now.
Centerline’s fleet now includes black, white, red and silver 2021 Explorer XLT Sports. Adding to the sporty appearance are aluminum wheels that are coated in carbonized gray paint and a mesh grille with carbonized gray accents. This is seriously a slick ride.
The largest SUV available at Centerline, the interior is definitely spacious. Third row seating makes it ideal for families and groups to get around St. Croix. And if it’s cargo space you need, Car and Driver says, “We managed to fit four carry-on suitcases behind the Ford’s third row, and we fit a total of 31 bags with both back rows folded flat.”
The Explorer also comes complete with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, as well as a Wi-Fi hotspot.
The 2021 Explorer received a 5-star safety rating and includes a host of driver-assistance technology. Key safety features include:

Well, we just wouldn’t be a rental car company if we didn’t love going for a scenic drive on St. Croix, now would we? While there’s lots to do by foot and fins, sometimes there’s just nothing like rolling down the windows, putting on some good tunes, and hitting the road to take in the sights.
Some of our favorite moments in the car are when you crest the top of the hill at The Buccaneer, the peak of The Beast, feeling nestled in among the vines and trees of the rain forest, and rounding the bend of Grassy Point.
Our Top 3 Favorite Scenic Drives
North Shore Road is a winding jaunt along the coast. You’ll pass steep ocean bluffs, historic sugar mill ruins, beautiful Cane Bay, and breathtaking views the whole way. There are some great places to stop along the way for a snack, too!
A drive through the rain forest puts you deep within the island’s flora and fauna. Other things you may encounter include beer drinking pigs, an organic farm, and an old dam.
The East End Loop is about a 12 mile drive along rolling hillsides and the Caribbean coastline. You might even make pit stops at Divi Casino and Ziggy’s gas station. Of course, you’ll also want to take the scenic drive out to Point Udall.

Perhaps you’ll be lucky enough to catch one of the Caravelle Hotel & Casino’s block parties or free concerts. Or to hear one of the youth steel pan bands that play at various events and festivals. Jazz in the Park in Christiansted and Sun Set Jazz in Frederiksted are popular free monthly events for the community too.

Whether it’s your first time or 100th time, seeing a Moko Jumbie always catches one’s attention. The brightly dressed stilt dancers make appearances at various events, festivals and parades throughout the year.
As if walking on stilts isn’t remarkable enough, the dancing skills of the Moko Jumbies is out of this world! At every event, they always attract a crowd, but be sure to make your way to the front with a tip in hand for a photo opp.
Moko Jumbies have been part of the Virgin Islands culture for more than 200 years, but date as far back as the 13th century in Africa. They symbolize protectors or guardians who help deter evil spirits. Check out the Guardians of Culture Moko Jumbies Facebook page to learn more and see some great photos.
