Unlike our first trip, we are making our own travel arrangements this time.

Who is the best car rental agency to use?

Thanks!

Hey Sheila -
I'm sure you'll get lots of responses - question first - what do you need? plain transportation, hauling dive gear, etc...

that said - we used Poppy @ Telerin - I have never had an easier rental experience - the truck we rented was a standard - had some miles on it but it acted well maintained -

I always go to Everts Carrental. Haven't had a problem in 15 or so rents. Always friendly, always good pick-ups and located on the airport.

Sheila, I have not rented from Poppy before, but have heard MANY wonderful things about her and her service! There have been many posts on here about Poppy and Never anything untoward! It has even been posted about her good deals she can get. I do not know Annie Fox but would not hesitate to agree that Poppy has a wonderful reputation!

I'm another fan of Poppy...have never tried Voyager Events, but I did check truck rental rates with all the rental companies about a year ago, and Poppy had them all beat.

She's the BEST!!!

It has come to the attention of the moderators that there may be some untruths on this thread and possible promoting of the Voyager Car rental.. Neither Sheila nor Anne have ever rented nor contacted Poppy obtaining any information from Telerin Car Rentals. The only ones that could know about Poppy obtaining Voyager cars in a over flow situation would be people that work for Voyager Rentals or people renting from Telerin during an overflow situation... Please stop promoting business's that you have never dealt with...

usually when i find someone either disparaging another company or covertly promoting a company they have an interest in i tend to avoid the second company, in this case voyager, and promote the first one, in this case poppy (sorry marge). comments such as the previous posts can't hurt poppy's business...she already has a great reputation.

OMG!!!! Did I miss a lot.

John, you know I love you but you have to stop this!!! It's for your own good. You know what I'm talking about.

Anyway. I find it the best strategy to contact a couple of companies, just to be able to compare. Yes, I know, service and quality of the vehicle is also very important but you just can't base your whole dissension on just one or two reviews which could be doubtful. Better be as sure as possible. Usually you can see already on the response time and quality of the reaction what their service could be.

I wish you lots of luck and wisdom and a great vacation on our wonderful Bonaire.

jerry, it seems there are a number of BS posts regarding car rentals, both on this thread and the previous one. sounds like self-promotion. one mistaken self-promotion can be expected since some posters don't understand the rules. but after a while i begin to wonder if the company being self-promoted would be worth dealing with anyway. the more successful rental companies don't have to self-promote. i still stand by my previous post about voyager.
