 One of Love City Car Ferries, Inc's primary mission is to keep the car ferry transportation in the Virgin Islands affordable. But at the same time, we have to be sustainable.
We have experienced price increases in every area between 2010 and 2021. While rates for everything have doubled and or tripled, we have not changed the price of a car or small truck. One of the ways in which we've attempted to remain at this lower rate is by asking the local and federal governments for subsidies. The government generally realizes that this sort of transportation is necessary to the well being of the people. So, they do what is necessary to ensure its sustainability, thus subsidizing mass transit such as airlines, trains, and in the Virgin Islands passenger ferries. This is not the case in the Virgin Islands' car ferry industry. We have to assume the outright building and maintenance costs on our own. However, given the rising costs of fuel, insurance, labor, etc, it is not only necessary but inevitable that we must raise our prices, in order to be able to continue serving the general public. Again, we are trying to balance our compassionate value with that of the need to remain sustainable. Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to continuing to serve you.  Effective Saturday, January 1st, 2022 prices for various vehicles, including small cars, will increase. This change will more properly reflect the true market rate while allowing us to remain sustainable and continue to provide an exceptional service despite increasing fuel and insurance costs. The last price change on small cars was more than 10 years ago. Thank you for your understanding as this was a difficult decision to make, given our desire to remain both compassionate and sustainable.

As the seasons change, we think of holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, times to slow down and focus on our loved ones. In the Caribbean, while we may not have intense changes in the seasons, we do experience cooler days and decrease day light, as we welcome the holidays.
Love City Car Ferries, Inc works tirelessly to offer service with a smile to our community. But besides that, for this upcoming season of caring, we would like to share with you 5 ways that we care for our community:
We believe that a community is stronger based on the health of individual families, the camaraderie of citizens, the accountability of government and the generosity of businesses. Thus, we will continue to do what we can in the business arena. It doesn't mean our answer will always be yes, but it does mean that community first is one of our guiding principles, as we continue to operate with "a heart for the people."  We at Love City Car Ferries, Inc would like to take the time to wish everyone a wonderful Labor Day weekend. You work hard and you deserve a day of rest. If you decide to head to St. John to the beach or head to St. Thomas for the sales, you can join us on the M/V Grand Vic. All cars and small trucks will be discounted to $40 round trip on Labor Day 2021. God bless! *Discount does not apply to charge customers, reservations nor to larger vehicles.   Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Grand Vic is running late today. We hope to be back on our normal schedule by the 10 AM departure. If you have any questions, please contact the St. John Administrator’s Office and ask for Mrs. Jones. Thank you.
