On Bonaire a rental car is not a convenience, it is the transport system: there is no functioning bus and no ride-hailing, and the beaches, dive sites and viewpoints are spread over 39 kilometers of island. Almost everything on this island is reachable in a small car — the exception is Washington Slagbaai, which asks for 30 centimetres of ground clearance and where rangers turn low cars away at the gate. If the park is in your plan, rent the pickup for the whole trip rather than for one day.

On Bonaire you will not get far without a car: the beaches, the dive sites and the park are too far apart to walk. Daily rates vary a lot, and the small classes go first in high season. So start by comparing what is available and what it costs, then book — here, or directly with one of the companies below.

Insurance excess
What you pay yourself in case of damage varies widely between companies. Check that before you judge a car on its daily rate.
Fuel policy
Full-to-full is the fair one. With a prepaid tank you do not get anything back for the fuel you leave in it.
Airport or hotel
Most companies have a desk at the airport; some deliver to your hotel instead. That saves you a trip on arrival day.
