STX: Making car registration easy and transitioning to island life

If you have any trepidation about getting your car registered on St. Croix or don't want the hassle of re-registering your car, I have a solution for you. St. Croix native Jason Rames will help you navigate all steps of the process for registering a newly arrived car on island—road taxes, custom payments, inspection, registration and licensing. This will save you time and confusion, as Jason knows what order to do all the steps, etc.

Jason charges $175 for the whole process of getting a car out of port and onto the road. He also can do registration renewals (we are using him for our renewal in April) for $50.00. In addition to those services, he can also arrange for a postal box, do light moving and secure storage facilities. Depending on what you need, those services range from $100-200.

In the interest of full disclosure, we are friends with Jason’s brother and that’s how we learned about Jason. Jason grew up on St. Croix (his family has been here for 6 generations) and is a master at navigating the various government bureaucracies and island businesses. We also hired Jason when we sent our car down and he did a great job for us. I highly recommend him—he’ll make those transition items a lot easier.
