Barbara -

Might I suggest you go to the bottom of this page, click "Keyword Search," input "Island Car Rental,"
"match all words," "whole words only," and "perform search."

If you're not registered to perform the search, it is an easy and safe process to register and if you use Bonaire Talk a lot, you will find the search feature quite helpful.

You will find a rather extensive discussion, including some fairly recent experience of travelers.

Thanks much - did the search and turned up some concerning information on them. Appreciate the tip!

I'm glad you found what you were looking for.

We have not used Island, but we have used AB Car Rental, Netty's and, this mid-August, Everts (http://www.evertscarrental.com). Of the three, we had by far the best service from Everts and intend on using them next trip. Others can tell you about their own experiences.

I've also used Everts for the last 8 years, always GREAT, pleasant and efficient service. I'm already booked for next year's month...

Would never hesitate to recommend them. The owner, Ilka, is a great Bonaire-born sweetheart!

I don't like waiting in lines! So Telerin Car/Truck Rental is my choice. Poppy has someone meet you at the A/P with your truck. Sign you rental agreement and your on your way. Same thing when you leave.
telerin@bonairelive.com Tel: 599-717-4108
Cel: 09-516-3001(24/7)
She has good prices and good truck's...

Barbara, if you do searches on almost any business mentioned on this board, you will find some negative post. That said, I have NEVER been mistreated by ANY car rental company on Bonaire.

Car rental companies I have used over the years are:

A.B.
Island Car Rental
Netty's (no longer in business)
Telerin
Total

and Buddy Dive's resort fleet.

Wishing you the same kind of luck I have enjoyed and a most pleasant trip.
