Should I rent a car in Aruba?

My dream of visiting the beautiful island of Aruba is finally coming true! My husband and I will be staying at a local resort, but we hope to do a bit of exploring on the side. Should we rent a car for our stay, or will public transportation and resort excursions have us covered?

Aruba is an amazing vacation spot—you’re sure to have a blast with your husband! Many of the island’s local resort excursions can take you to major tourist destinations, but if you’re looking for the freedom to explore at your own pace, we highly recommend renting a car in Aruba.
Here are a few things to consider when renting a car in Aruba:
  • You need to be over 23 years old and have had a valid license for three years to rent a car.
  • Certain traffic signs in Aruba will be different from those you are used to in the US.
  • Reserving your rental car in advance can help mitigate any last-minute price hikes.
No matter where you’re going, if you’re renting a car, it’s vital that you invest in
rental car insurance
. You can do this either through your own
car insurance
policy or with your credit card company.
Don’t have rental car insurance? It’s easier than ever to alter your insurance policy to find the coverage options you need at the prices you want when you shop with
