Do I Need a Car?

I will be staying at the Marriotts in St. Thomas and San Juan. Morning Star and Stellaris Casino and Resort.
I have heard that there are cheap taxiis in St. Thomas which will serve me better. In San Juan, Marriott charges for parking. Is there a shuttle or car service there?
Do either hotels have airport shuttles or other type shuttles to the center of town?
Thanks,
Steven

When I was there I rented a car-I prefer to be able to go where I what when I want, the taxi's are pickup trucks with benches in them, I heard they have accidents all the time (saw a few)

While I rent a car just about everywhere - St Martin, St. Kitts, Bahamas, etc., St. Thomas was the one island where we got by for a week with just taxi's/shuttle buses and found them easily accessable and efficient.

That has been my experience too.
