Renting a car in January

[Gambler458]

Hi,

I've read several posts about car rentals but I'm still confused. I would like to rent a car at the pier and go to the West side beaches. We dock at 8am and sail at 6pm. If we rent the car at 9:30am and return it by 5pm will this give us enough 'fun' time to be able to explore, relax on the beaches and return to drop the car off. I read there's construction and that the West side is a long distance from the pier. We're going to be on the Adventure of the Seas arriving on Jan. 10th (a Friday). Please give me your thoughts.

Thanks so much!

With your port times you should be fine. Renting a car and exploring on your own is perfectly doable.

 

Don't forget to visit Shete Boka park and Knip Bay on your trip to the Western side.

 

Personally I would make sure to start the drive back to town no later than 4 pm, just to be on the safe side.

 

Have a great cruise!

All roadworks currently stopped for Dec - and anyway not too long a queue if you are going west even if they start again

We are sailing on the Adventure of the Seas, arriving Jan 10th. Will we be docking at the Mega Pier? I just reserved my car there and want to make sure I know what I'm doing. If this is correct will we see the rental booth once we get off of the ship?

 

Thanks

Yes, you will dock at the Mega Pier and the Avis office (more like a booth) is one of the first signs you'll see when you get off the ship.

 

Enjoy your day in Curacao!
