Frequently Asked Questions
How does the comparison work?
We search multiple car rental agencies in Aruba simultaneously when you enter your dates. Our system aggregates prices, availability, and vehicle details from each agency and displays them side-by-side so you can easily compare options and find the best deal.
What type of car should I rent in Aruba?
It depends on your plans. For off-road adventures to the Natural Pool or Arikok National Park, you'll need a Jeep or 4x4 with proper ground clearance. Couples exploring beaches and restaurants do well with an economy car. Families and larger groups should consider a minivan for extra space and gear storage.
Are the prices accurate?
We pull real-time pricing information, but prices are estimates and may vary slightly when you book directly with the rental agency. Final prices, taxes, and fees are determined by the agency at the time of booking. It's a good idea to confirm the final price with the agency before completing your reservation.
Do I book through abccarscanner.com or the rental agency?
You book directly with the rental agency. abccarscanner.com is a comparison tool only. When you click "Book Now" on a car listing, you'll be redirected to the rental agency's website to complete your booking. We do not process bookings or collect payment information.
Can I compare prices from multiple agencies at once?
Yes! Our comparison tool searches multiple local agencies simultaneously, showing you the best deals from Aruba's top rental companies. For international brands like Hertz, Avis, and Budget, you can also check QEEQ.
What agencies are included in the comparison?
We compare prices from major local rental agencies in Aruba, including Top Drive, Sunset Car Rental, GMAX Car Rental, Drive4Cheap, Mitoo Car Rental, Tropic Car Rental, and Wheels 2 Go. For international brands, check our partner QEEQ. We continuously work to add more agencies to provide you with comprehensive comparison options.
Are there any fees to use abccarscanner.com?
No, our comparison service is completely free to use. We do not charge any fees for searching or comparing prices. You only pay the rental agency directly when you book your car.
How do I stay connected with mobile data in Aruba?
International roaming can be expensive. Many travelers use eSIMs for affordable data plans that activate instantly upon arrival. This keeps your GPS navigation working and lets you stay in touch without hunting for WiFi.
What if prices change after I search?
Car rental prices can fluctuate based on availability, demand, and other factors. The prices shown are current at the time of your search, but may change by the time you book. We recommend booking as soon as you find a deal you like, as prices and availability can change quickly.
Do you store my personal information?
We do not collect or store personal information when you search for car rentals. Since bookings are completed directly with rental agencies, any personal information you provide is handled by the agency you choose, not by us. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more details.
Can I cancel or modify my booking?
Cancellation and modification policies are determined by the rental agency you book with, not by abccarscanner.com. You'll need to contact the rental agency directly to cancel or modify your reservation. Most agencies have their cancellation policies listed on their website.
What payment methods are accepted?
Payment methods vary by rental agency. Most agencies accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and some may accept debit cards or cash deposits. Check with your chosen rental agency for their specific payment options.
Do I need travel insurance for Aruba?
While not required, travel insurance provides peace of mind for medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and lost luggage. Your credit card may offer some coverage, but dedicated travel insurance typically provides more comprehensive protection.
Do I need car insurance?
Insurance requirements vary by rental agency and your personal situation. Most agencies offer optional collision damage waiver (CDW) and liability insurance. Your personal auto insurance or credit card may also provide coverage. We recommend checking with your insurance provider and the rental agency to understand your coverage options before booking.
What documents do I need to rent a car?
Typically, you'll need a valid driver's license (international license may be required depending on your country of origin), a credit card in the driver's name, and proof of insurance if you're declining the agency's coverage. Age requirements vary by agency (usually 21-25 minimum). Check with your chosen rental agency for their specific requirements.
Should I pick up my car at the airport or off-site?
In-terminal counters offer convenience but often charge a premium. Shuttle-based agencies a few minutes from the airport typically have lower rates and better vehicle selection. The choice depends on whether you prioritize speed or savings.
What if I have a problem with my rental?
Since bookings are made directly with the rental agency, any issues with your rental should be addressed with the agency. abccarscanner.com is a comparison tool and is not involved in the rental transaction. If you have concerns about a rental agency's service, we recommend contacting them directly or leaving a review on their website.
