they do have online rental , we peruse the rates, and use whoever has the bets one..they have them AT the pier, and used to AT the Airport..be careful to pick the one you need, but Mark told me there has been a change and the off site is both off the airport, and pier side, so visit the car sites, plug it in ,and rent..we've done them all Hertz, National, Dollar etc..
they come with air conditioning... you'll need it...:bigsmile: Aruba has a year round base temp of 88F...
if you Jeep -4x4 just remember take ALL your goodies..if there is no trunk..it's a temptation to have stuff lifted..also
Aruba is 24 hours a day WINDY and your hair gets blown, dust flies in a Jeep, and I LIVE in a ponytail with my long hair pretty much 24/7 unless IN a restaurant!!:whistle:..it's OK with me..but just so you know....hehehe.....Joanne

Joanne - We just booked on the Grand Princess for next February and will be there 8-8 along with Corky. Tell me what your perfect day ashore in Aruba would be and can you navigate the island easily without a car rental? We love a good beach day but would love to see some of this island too!
thanks!

have a great trip to aruba, thats really nice place, I have been there 2 times and really worth seeing place
When we were in Aruba we got off the boat and there was a brightly colored school bus that we got on for a 1/2 day tour. It went around the island and we saw the coach's visiting each area that the bus visited as well.
