Aruba Queen Beatrix International Airport Car Rental & Travel Information

Aruba Airport travel and car rental tips

Home to lush forests, immaculate beaches and unspoiled countryside, Aruba is a charming 33-km long island in the Caribbean Sea. The soothing breeze and the aroma of aloe vera coming to you from all parts of the island ensure that Aruba offers an experience that is designed for tourists to simply sit back and enjoy.   There are plenty of heritage sites and other attractions just waiting to be explored and car hire services can put them all within easy reach.

Aruba nature and national parks

Aruba is home to exotic bird and animal species like the teal and gold coloured parrot-fishes, the endemic Aruba rattlesnake and the bright flamingos.  The island has many national parks and bird sanctuaries which offer safari trips and hiking trails which lead to the hills. Amongst the many mountains that throng the countryside, the Arikok National Park and the Bubali Bird Sanctuary are all-time favourites among the tourists who visit the island regularly.  Car rental is perfect for families who want to see these sites and more during their stay. 

Oranjestad is the cultural, financial and political centre of the island. When in the city you can take time off to visit the famous Archaeological Museum which can be found in the historic Ecury Complex where you can see the various Amerindian cultural artifacts on display. Other places of interest include Fort Zoutman, the oldest settlement in Aruba and the Paardenbaai (Schooner Harbour).

Explore Aruba by car rental

Aruba is home to plenty of caves and gorges in the mountains and the drawings and inscriptions in the caves are huge tourist attractions. The native Arawak Indians used the Fontein cave for a long time and it is now a heritage site. The caves and taverns at Guadirikiri and Huliba are also popular tourist spots. Natural springs from these areas are thought to cure several skin ailments thanks to the aloe vera forests that they pass through.

The clear untouched coastline of Aruba offers plenty of options to indulge in water sports like snorkelling, kayaking and river water rafting. Beaches at Hadicurari and Palm Beach Resort are ideal family picnic spots, whereas the Arashi beach hosts windsurfing competitions year after year. The de Palm island bay is an ideal snorkelling resort. 

Why rely on local public transport when Aruba car hire can get you where you want to go in half the time and for a reasonable cost?  This is an island which is just crying out to be explored and there is no excuse for missing anything during your stay when car rental can ensure that you have the holiday of a lifetime.
