Budget Rent A Car

A chain has one clear advantage here: you book from home in your own language, on a familiar site, with a price fixed before you travel — and if something goes wrong there is a company behind it. The fleet covers economy cars up to pick-ups, and having more than one location on the island means a swap or a breakdown does not depend on a single office being open.

Three things to check before you sign, because they differ per company on Bonaire and this is where a cheap rate turns expensive: the deductible, which is commonly five hundred to a thousand dollars unless you buy full cover at ten to fifteen dollars a day; the minimum age, usually twenty-one to twenty-three with a surcharge under twenty-five; and whether the agreement allows you into Washington Slagbaai, which is unpaved. Reckon on around forty dollars a day for a compact.
