Cheap Car Hire in Oranjestad Reina Beatrix Airport

More larger vehicle options would help.

Friendly staff. Prices too high for me, but so are the other rental companies.

cost of insurance very high

The main thing that needs to be mentioned here is that I booked this car with it listed as being at the airport. When I went to find the rental car booth, it didn't exist. If it wasn't for a guy in a van eating his lunch, seeing my wife and I wandering around, I'm not sure we would've found him. He had our name on a list and drove us in a van to another location to pick-up our rental car. When we were there, the gentleman at the place (not listed as Economy but as Smart Rent a Car) went through a laundry list of rules for the car, such as washing it prior to returning it (otherwise there would be a $150). All of this after charging me a $500 security hold. At this point, I was expecting a pristine, brand new car. Instead, I got issued a car with 24,000 miles on it. The radio was damaged, the driver's side window would go off track if lowered. I had to raise it and put it into place from the outside of the car. This car also had numerous scuff, scratches, dents etc. When I was ready to return to the airport, I couldn't go straight there. I had to take the car back, then get driven over to the airport. Extremely inconvenient. Especially since I specifically rented a car that was listed as being at the airport for pick-up.

They don’t have a sign at the airport and we asked locals who pointed where to wait for the shuttle. Car had a number of dings and was missing the cover shade to conceal the trunk luggage.

I had an uncomfortable experience when I went to pick up my rental car. Getting there was confusing and you hop into a van that takes you to a very weird back alley way. I had gone to pickup the car on my own and as a woman it made me very uncomfortable. The man who helped me was asking strange questions about whether I was traveling alone and then proceeded to ask if it was a group of all girls. On top of that I thought it was very strange that the car didn't come with a full tank of gas, mine was nearly empty when I went to pick it up. I wouldn't rent from here again.
