In checking around for rentals, it looks like Budget is the best cost for a truck. However, I seem to remember some discussion about problems with Budget (perhaps a year or so ago). Anyone have any recent experiences with them, negative or positive. Cost is certainly a major factor, but reliability and pleasant service is also most important.

If you look closely, you aren't comparing apples with apples. Budget does not include the taxes in their rates, AB rental (local) does. Budget will charge you $7.00 for an extra driver (Funny they don't anywhere else??? AB waived it, unofficially) Support the local economy, if you can. The folks at AB will work with you. I got a rate of 251.50/week for a Toyota P/U with crew cab including a car seat, extra driver and all taxes. Talk to Ton. Here's his email address:

Both my Enterprise and Hertz franchises were in Washington State at the airport. Both charge a hefty fee, but with Hertz it accounted for over 60% of our revenue. They are stiffer about the type of car you carry (you get them from Hertz) as well as when you can and can't discount rates. My point was that as far as I know, AB doesn't pay that fee. I assume they buy their own cars, or lease them, and by doing so further stimulate the local economy. So I guess my point was that more of the money you pay for a car will circulate around Bonaire, in theory. I would compare it to buying a burger from a local restaurant rather than McDonalds. You may even pay more, but not much. Considering we will be enjoying the paradise that their tax dollars and efforts have helped create, I feel it is the noble thing to do.
