cessnabmw Posted November 13, 2021 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Are there any car rental companies at the port that we can book prior or do we have to do it while there? We're 2 adults and two teenage kids. Suggestions on places to drive to? Best beaches? Sights? Driving route? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hasentreelake Posted November 16, 2021 #7 Share Posted November 16, 2021 It would appear December/Holiday rates are $100/day more expensive. I just reserved a car from Advance for Nov 27 2021 and received the $75/day rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaAC Posted December 13, 2021 #9 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Besides the time of the year, it looks like what he had available was an SUV. They're always more expensive. We inquired on a rental for December 1st, and basically got the same letter, but he had a compact car available for $125.00. For years we have rented from Avis at the Mega pier (Never loved them, but they were convenient). When I went to the Avis website to check for a car, they didn't show having a location there anymore, so we contacted Advance on recommendations from Cruise Critic. It was a very short day in Curacao, so we opted for Pirate Bay Beach club instead. We will use him on our next trip. For us, I wound have rental car coverage on my trip insurance as well. I know he rents the car as an insured vehicle, and he is very clear what that covers and doesn't cover. Curacao is wonderful- have a great trip!
