We are headed to Bonaire end of this month; overall there are nearly 50 of us attending a wedding of two fellow divers (bride is Dutch).

Hubby (diver) and I (non-diver) will have a car through Total Car Rental. I know from a previous list that they don't accept AMEX, so the extra AMEX rental insurance won't do us any good. Will a CDW actually cover damage? Also, do you need to keep the car unlocked/windows down everywhere (including town) or just at dive sites? Any advice you have is greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to the trip; we haven't been ther since 1998, and we have a wonderful event to celebrate.

Many thanks,

Yaz

Yaz,

Even if they did except Amex the Amex doesn't cover everything, I checked into it before I went in June and found this out so I just got the CDW. It's best to not leave anything in the car at any time and I always leave it unlocked everywhere.

although this has never come up in all the years i've been coming to Bonaire. i have a friend who is renting a car for the first time and is fearful of personal liability lawsuits in case of an accident . anybody ever have that concern besides him?
