We rented an a/c minivan from Nettys at a very reasonable price. She is at the airport. She was wonderful and her cars are clean and reliable. I highly recommend her rental agency and she is a local. We made reservations in advance. If you are planning to be on the island during high season, it would seem reasonable to make arrangements before you go. However, I'm sure those who live on the island have a better handle on this than me. I just emailed every agency and shopped for best deal that way.

My first time renting a car out of the country was in Bonaire. I thought by using my "Club Gold Card" through Hertz would provide me with better service, better cars and possibly more protection. All it ended up giving me was more price. Any rental agencies at the airport are pretty much the same and I don't think you will have a problem with any.

We have used AB Car Rental (also at the airport and one other location, too, I believe) and have been pleased with their service and the vehicles, as well. Carole

How is it working out at the airport with the car rental booths now "off in the distance" and away from the main terminal building? They were just getting ready to open up the new booths in the outer parking lot area when we were leaving last May 2001 and there were concerns about people having to "lug" their luggage and gear all the way out to the booths to pick up their car rentals, etc. How is it being handled now? Any hassles?? Carole (Shutterbug).

We have always rented from ABCarrentals...If you email them and give them your information (they don't need credit card info now) They will hold a car for you. We usually don't take the extra insurance (check with your credit card company) because ours covers us (Titanium, Platinum members cards ususally do). Good Luck!

Carol, We were there in Mid Oct. and the rental booths are not that far away. We had a lot of luggage, but no problem. I've had more trouble getting to rental booths in bigger airports where you have to walk a marathon to get from luggage pick-up to rental booth. Bonaire was no problem.
