Renting a car in Curaçao

You need a car to see the west coast — the good beaches are 40 minutes out and the bus won't take you. The aggregators only list the international chains, so the local operators below are largely invisible unless you know their names.

Before you book

What does the rental insurance not cover?

Collision damage waivers here typically exclude tyres, windows, mirrors, the undercarriage, the roof, the interior and the keys. The gravel access roads to the west-coast beaches are exactly where those get damaged.

Can I drive on my home licence?

Yes. A valid licence from your home country in the Latin alphabet is accepted, and no International Driving Permit is required.

Do I need a credit card to rent a car?

Generally yes — a credit card in the main driver's name is required for the deposit, which is blocked rather than charged. Holds reported from a few hundred dollars upward; one operator publishes a USD 500 hold.

How old do I need to be to rent a car?

Most operators set a minimum of 23. Some rent to drivers aged 21 or 22 with a young-driver surcharge and mandatory all-risk cover.
