Opinions and suggestions are welcome.

I used them a few years ago-the location was right outside the terminal.

I have since left Budget altogether-just too many things have gone wrong in almost every rental I used them for.

In Aruba the car was beat up,but ok for our purpose,although as we drove around the island,it was clear that almost every other rental company was issuing vehicles in better condition.Just be sure everything is documented,when we did a walkaround,the agents kept saying not to worry about anything-that they did not keep track of damage-there is no way I'd believe that-protect yourself

The Aruba location is not corporately owned-no discounts and no rewards are issued.

Good luck and have fun-you can't go wrong with Aruba in January!
