Thank you.

Last year my friends and I rented 5 vehicles through Telerin. The staff was courteous, 4 of the vehicles were in good shape considering the amount of use they get, exposure to salt, etc... The 5th (mine) had tailgate issues (love that term - issues). The hinges were rusted so we had to be very careful when using it to put our scuba set ups together. They all ran fine.

Poppy met us at the airport with all of the vehicles ready. Also on the day of our departure, the staff was there early enough to allow us an unhurried check-in of these vehicles prior to our early morning American Eagle flight.

I found no reason to complain about the tailgate as my rental truck was in no worse shape than my own old pick-up (just traded) that I had dove out of for many years.

I am returning to Bonaire on the 16th with 5 friends, we have again reserved through Telerin, with no apprehensions.

How would I get in touch with Telerin from the US to rent a double cab p/u?

I just booked with Poppy at Telerin and got a much much better price than anyone I contacted. One thing I am a real stickler for is cost of car rentals. I wrote an email, cut and pasted to every car rental agency on Bonaire and Poppy responded with the lowest price by far. I'm glad I came across this thread, as I have rented from many others in the past, AB, Netty, Hertz, etc. I was skeptical, but now I feel better.

James, nice to know.
No hidden cost for insurance or taxes that might make the comparison complicated?
