AB car rental states they are located at the Plaza Hotel. Are they in the hotel or located in the building where Total car rental was located last year. Can you walk to their office from the airport if not traveling with luggage? Any helpful info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

We rented from AB last June. They are using the Plaza as their temporary location until they are able to move into the new location at the airport. I think it would be a long walk from the airport but they had someone their to meet us and take us to their office. On the way home we checked in at the airport first and then went to AB to return the car and they had someone drive us back to the airport.

Hi, Kathy & welcome to BT.

We just returned from Bonaire and we used AB for the tenth year.

When you make the reservation with AB they will be at the airport with a taxi/shuttle ride for you. They will have someone holding a sign with your name on it. They will load your luggage up and you get in the van/vehicle and they take you to their spot at the Plaza.

Yes, it's the same spot where you saw Total Rental.

Same thing on the return end. We checked the bags and paid our departure tax at the airport, (with boarding passes in hand) and then drove to AB at the Plaza for the return of the SUV.

We were driven with another couple in an SUV back to the airport at no charge. (tipping is a nice thing to do, tho.)

Have a great trip! I'm soooooo missing Bonaire already and can't wait to return. Carole

They also offer you the option of leaving the truck at the site across the road from the airport for check out. I had to do this for the early AA flight. I signed a release, took photos of the truck, locked it up, dropped the keys in the slot and walked across the street to the airport. Easy peasy!

I just used AB over the Holidays. When returning the car at the Plaza location, the lady that checked the car out, got into same vehicle and drove us to the airport. We were in and out in minutes.

As Peter says , just too easy . AB runs like a well oiled machine.

Talk about easy! Poppy, at Telerin Car Rental meets you at the airport with your car/truck. When your trip is over you leave the unit in the parking lot with the key's in the truck, and she will contact you with your recept before you leave. She works at the airport as well. Good service, no lines, and personal attention... Ron

Poppy is awesome. It felt like borrowing a car from a friend when we rented off of her.
