Car rental at Aruba Airport
Aruba is easy to explore by car. Several rental companies have a desk at the airport, while others pick you up with a free shuttle.
Rental desks at the airport
International brands such as Enterprise and Alamo have their counters in the arrivals hall, just past customs. Other well-known brands like Hertz, Avis and Budget also serve the airport; check your booking confirmation to see whether the desk is in the terminal or whether a shuttle takes you to a nearby office.
Off-airport companies with a shuttle
Many local companies are located a few minutes from the airport and pick you up with a free shuttle, for example Wheels2Go, Top Drive, Tropic Car Rental, Economy Car Rental and Sixt. Some also deliver the car to your hotel. They are often cheaper than the companies in the terminal.
Requirements
- A valid driving licence from your home country.
- Minimum age to rent: usually 25; some companies rent to drivers aged 21 to 24 for an extra charge.
- A credit card for the deposit.
