Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
A private transfer from Sint Maarten Airport (SXM) to Philipsburg costs €90 per car for 1–3 passengers and €130 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 9 km; the drive takes about 15 min with clear roads, so plan on 15–25 min at busy times.
Where the driver waits: The driver waits for you in the Meet & Greet Hall that you enter after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. Shuttle pick-up areas and car rentals are just outside the terminal, reached from the same hall. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.
Philipsburg, the capital of Sint Maarten, lies on the south coast about 12 km east of the airport. The road leaves the airport along Airport Road through Simpson Bay, continues on Welfare Road through Cole Bay and then climbs over the hills at Cay Hill before descending past Little Bay into the town. Traffic drives on the right and there are no road tolls. The Cole Bay and Cay Hill stretch is the busiest part of the island's road network, so weekday rush hours and cruise ship days can add time.
Philipsburg sits on a narrow strip of land between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond. Front Street runs the length of the town parallel to the beach and is lined with shops, while the Great Bay Boardwalk follows the sand with bars and restaurants. The white Courthouse on Wathey Square dates from 1793. Back Street runs one block inland, and the cruise ship terminal at Pointe Blanche is at the eastern end of the bay, connected to the town centre by a waterfront walkway.
Public transport: The official airport and tourism sites do not list a scheduled airport bus. Public transport on the island consists of privately run minibuses marked with their destination district on the front; they run frequently between Philipsburg, Simpson Bay and Maho but have no formal timetable. Minibuses towards Philipsburg stop along Airport Road and Welfare Road.
