We are staying at the Plaza Resort for 2 weeks in March and plan to dive every other day and vegetate on the beach the others. This is our first visit to the island. Do we really need a rental, or are we better off taking a taxi for restaurants and renting a moped or other vehicle if we want to do the occasional excursion? Thanks for the feedback

Unless your planning on doing all boat dives you are going to need a car for the shore diving. The island is small, but not that small. Check the prices, but I think its cheaper to rent by the week than by the day. A car gives you the fredom to explore the island and have access to everything.

hard to imagine bonaire w/o wheels for shore diving trips... todd's idea sounds good... however, i've spent vacations perhaps the way you've suggested, relaxing at a resort, using on-site recreation, beaches, etc, and venturing out now and again... so i could see renting specific days only, IFF you aren't opposed to extra rental transactions or walking/taxis to off-hotel restaurants, and your hotel has plenty of what you came to do... i would use $50/day as a benchmark for renting basic transportation, or the daily rental fee, like $30, $40, or $50, multiplied by 1.7 to cover all rental costs.

But exploring the island just driving is sure a great way to off gas. My wife and I just love driving and exploring between dives.
