What's the Cheapest Type of Rental Car in Aruba?

In this search, mini and economy cars offered the lowest listed prices.

The Chevrolet Spark was the cheapest at $307 for seven days, followed by the Hyundai i10 at $379 and Hyundai Accent at $396.

For couples and solo travelers, these smaller vehicles can be practical for exploring Aruba's paved roads.

Compact cars such as the Nissan Versa offered additional room for a relatively modest increase in price.

Is an SUV Worth the Extra Cost?

In the same search, compact SUVs such as the Kia Sonet and Renault Duster started at $604 for seven days.

That's $297 more than the Chevrolet Spark over the week.

An SUV may be worthwhile for families, passengers with extra luggage or travelers who prefer a larger vehicle. But if you're mostly driving between Palm Beach, Eagle Beach, Oranjestad and Baby Beach, a smaller car is often sufficient.

Remember that an SUV rental does not automatically permit off-road driving.

What About Seven-Seater Rentals?

For larger families, the search included:

  • Kia Sorento or similar: $680 for seven days.
  • Kia Carens minivan or similar: $955 for seven days.

Check luggage space carefully. A vehicle advertised with seven seats may have limited room for suitcases when every seat is occupied.

Compare the Total Price Before Booking

Local companies may also offer competitive rates, but not every provider is necessarily available through QEEQ.

Cheap Car Rental at Aruba Airport

Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA) is a convenient pickup location for travelers who want a rental car throughout their vacation.

Several rental companies have airport facilities within walking distance of arrivals, while others operate from off-airport locations.

Airport pickup can also eliminate the need for a separate transfer to your accommodation.

For details about airport pickup and rental companies, read our Aruba Airport Car Rental Guide.

How to Save Money on Aruba Car Rentals

  1. Compare multiple rental companies for the same dates.
  2. Choose a mini or economy car if it meets your needs.
  3. Compare the total price for your entire trip rather than only the daily rate.
  4. Review deposits, insurance and additional charges.
  5. Check the fuel policy and mileage allowance.
  6. Consider a shorter rental if you're staying at a resort.
  7. Avoid paying for a larger SUV or Jeep unless you need one.
  8. Use code QRArubabuddies for 5% off eligible QEEQ bookings.

Aruba Rental Car Security Deposits

Most rental companies require a security deposit or card authorization when collecting the vehicle.

The deposit is generally separate from the rental price and temporarily reduces the available credit on your payment card.

The amount varies by company, vehicle category and rental conditions.

Check the exact deposit and accepted payment methods before booking.

Do You Need a Rental Car for Your Entire Aruba Vacation?

If you're staying at a resort in Palm Beach or Eagle Beach, you may not need a car every day.

For visitors planning frequent beach trips, supermarket visits and independent sightseeing, a full-week rental can be convenient.

For travelers who mainly plan to relax at their resort, renting for one or two days may cost less once airport transfers and other transportation are considered.

Compare your total transportation costs rather than assuming that a week-long rental is always the best value.
