Top tips for hiring a car in Bonaire
- If you would like to add some additional features to your rental car in Bonaire, then we recommend choosing a vehicle that has air conditioning installed. Most vehicles will come with this automatically, but it is worth checking that it is included, as the Caribbean Island of Bonaire can get very hot at times. If you need any other equipment, such as specialist seats or ramps, then we recommend that you get in touch with the hiring company in advance to see if they have some vehicles prepared or if they have any vehicles that can adapt to these things.
- If you are interested in picking up the rental car in Bonaire but dropping it off in another location, then you can organise this with the hiring company. The hiring company will ask that you specify the drop-off location, but this could be a really efficient way for you to organise your journey in Bonaire. The regular option of picking up and dropping off at the same location makes sense if you are travelling in and out of the same place, perhaps at the harbour or the airport, at the end of your stay on the island.
- The quality of the roads in Bonaire may vary, and so we recommend that you choose a car and an insurance pack that you are comfortable with. You can specify the damages that will be covered, and may want to contact your credit card company before making your reservation to see what they cover. You may want to hire a car that has four-wheel drive, or a larger vehicle that is better suited for driving on bumpy roads or paths. Otherwise, saloon cars are popular for adding extra comfort as you drive around the city and get out to explore the island.
- By choosing to hire a car, you give yourself the chance to travel on from the airport or harbour in Bonaire straight away, without having to wait for a taxi or public transport. If you think that you are going to arrive later than expected, you should contact the local hiring company and let them know so that they hold on to the car for you.
- Book your car hire in Bonaire at least 6 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Full-size hire cars in Bonaire are around 3% more expensive than other car types, on average

Should I hire a car in Bonaire?
Hiring a car in Bonaire is one of the best ways to get around the island. A rented car gives you the freedom to explore the island at your own leisure, and you can really get into the Caribbean way of life by visiting the local beaches and restaurants that are situated around the coast. Hiring a car is more convenient than taking the public buses, as you can leave when you want, and you won’t have to depend on the timetable of others to get where you want to go. You can travel door to door with more comfort.
What is driving like in Bonaire?
While the driving laws in Bonaire continue to follow the driving laws in the Netherlands, you are definitely driving on a Caribbean Island, with a slightly more relaxed approach behind the wheel. You must still drive on the right-hand side of the road, like in the Netherlands, and the speed limits are set at 40 kmph (25 mph) in urban areas and at 60 kmph (about 40 mph) on country roads. There are no highways or traffic lights on the island, and drivers are generally relaxed, with very few incidents of speeding registered, so you can get behind the wheel and enjoy visiting the island without the stress of the city.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Bonaire?
In order to hire a car in Bonaire, you will need to be at least 18 years old when collecting the vehicle. You will need to present a valid driving licence from your home nation, and we recommend that you provide an International Driving Permit if your licence is presented in a language that uses a different alphabet, but otherwise it is not necessary. Some rental companies may apply a surcharge for drivers that are under the age of 25, but you can check this with the company when making your booking.
