Anybody have suggestions for renting a vehicle for 5 weeks? Normally when I come to boniare for ten days, I rent from ABCarrental. Jake/Michael are you aware of any business on the island that will rent/lease for this term? I searched the archives but did not seem to find the answer to this question.

Work a deal with Josie - she was talking about buying one for her 5-6 weeks, which end right before yours. Pool your resources, and she gets the car first, and then you get it :-)

My son will be on the island for about 5 weeks (most of June) so I will go in on this too. Johan (a DI at WannaDive) wants to sell his junker van first of March when he goes home.

Keep me posted too. Josie, are you still game?

Decided to go with a car rental, and am booked with Everts and satisfied with the rate. Possibly a purchase could have been cheaper, but got so I just didn't want to deal with something that might have become complicated. However, Kate, if you're going again next year, and I am, we should talk sooner and see if we can work something.

Hello Greg,

I emailed Bob at WannaDive to check on Johan's Suzuki van. Johan paid $1200 for it, and I knew it needs a front spindle...so he has to fix that for us. Hope to hear back this weekend. Johan has used the van for about 6 months so I'm thinking he fixes the spindle and we give him $800. $400 each for a months use each isn't to bad. When my son leaves, we sell it and split the receipt after each others repairs. It is a true clunker, you can see the curb on the passenger side through the rust hole in the floor. I think it is a perfect island car.

we will be going this summer for seven weeks. just found out that our mastercard will only cover rentals for fifteen days. our visa will cover out of country rentals for 30 days. looks like we will go with the visa first then switch to mc then back to visa again. also keep in mind that no credit card will cover insurance on a pickup truck.

I got a good rate for six weeks at Everts. Great people to deal with (Ilka is the owner and is extremely pleasant). I switched credit cards after 30 days.
