Question 1

1. Do I need an international driver’s license to rent a car in Curaçao?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no. A valid driver’s license from your home country is sufficient, as long as it is written in the Latin alphabet (English, Dutch, Spanish, etc.). If your license is in another script, an international driver’s permit is recommended.

Question 2

2. What happens if my flight is delayed?

Accepted Answer

No problem! We monitor flight arrivals whenever possible. If your flight is delayed, we will adjust the pickup time accordingly. Just make sure to keep us informed if there are any major changes.

Question 3

3. Can I pick up or return the car outside of the airport?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer flexible pickup and drop-off options. Delivery to your accommodation or another location on the island may be possible. Feel free to contact us in advance to arrange this.

Question 4

4. What type of fuel does the car use and where can I refuel?

Accepted Answer

All of our cars use gasoline. There are fuel stations located all around the island, especially near main roads and popular areas. If you’re planning to visit the west side (Westpunt), it’s recommended to refuel beforehand as there are fewer gas stations in that area.

Question 5

5. Is it safe to drive everywhere on the island?

Accepted Answer

Yes, driving in Curaçao is generally safe, but it’s important to stay aware. Avoid off-road driving and be cautious when parking in unfamiliar or isolated areas, especially at night.
