Hello,

We're currently planning our first trip to Bonaire for 12 days (Apr 10-22) and would appreciate some insight as to the best vehicle choices for a family of 5.. we'll be travelling together often and have gear for 4 divers. I am not sure whether to go van or truck.

Many Thanks,

Paul Galaspie

I vote for 4-dr pickup truck...plenty of room for you all and the gear, and can go anywhere on the island. We've used one successfully on every trip.

I would say (like Robert) a pickup with a double cabin. We had a Toyota Hilux, Double Cabin & Airco last nov. There's certainly enough room for 5 people and their dive-gear!
The pickup is just much better for driving around the island.
Have fun!

Thats Robert and Igor. The pickup truck makes good sense.

We have rented the Dual Cab Toyota Hilus from Island Rentals before. I think this year it's going to cost about $214.00 per week plus taxes. The prices posted on line show $274. You can check with kim@goclassy.com for prices at Island if you wish.
