I've inquired of several of the rental agencies, but am having no luck finding one that offers a lock box in the bed of the pickup. I'm sure I saw one when I was there a few weeks ago, but didn't notice which agency the truck was from. I would think this idea would catch on, as the steel boxes would be pretty secure, and to me the added convenience and peace of mind would be worth a little extra cost. Worrying about whether to bring/hide an empty dive bag, soda cooler, prescription sunglasses, first aid kit, etc., is a minor annoyance but a simple stout lockbox would solve the problem (wouldn't it?). In the states these boxes are ubiquitous on construction sites, and keep expensive tools secure.

Anyone able to tell me (from recent experience) which rental agencies offer this option?

Not sure who we rented the truck from but it was a toyota helux with a back cab cover with lock....try Budget or AB rentals...But the horn seems to go off in these models at the oddest times...so be prepared!

Peter,

We were there in late March and Hertz at the airport gave us one. It was a Chev. S-10 x cab with a plastic lock box in the bed. We had not ask for one but it worked great for fins and wet suits and the like.(wouldn't leave my regs in it)
