Looking for the best beaches, natural pools, restaurants, and hidden spots in Aruba? A rental car gives you the freedom to explore beyond your hotel area.
Is renting a car in Aruba worth it?
For many travelers, renting a car is one of the easiest ways to explore Aruba. Public transportation and taxis are useful in popular areas, but having your own vehicle gives you more flexibility to:
Visit beaches outside the main hotel areas
Explore Arikok National Park
Drive to the Natural Pool
Visit the California Lighthouse
Discover local restaurants and viewpoints
Plan your own schedule without waiting for taxis
Combine several attractions in one day
If you are staying near Palm Beach or Eagle Beach and plan to spend most of your trip at the resort, you may only need a car for a few days rather than your entire vacation.
