Hi everyone. Still trying to determine how difficult it is to get to the new rental car locations. We are arriving on the Continental red-eye and our hotel wants to charge us for airport pick up and have the rental truck from AB dropped off at the hotel. Is it a hassle waiting for the rental car shuttle service? Do they just take the "driver" and others wait at the airport? Thanks for any help in the matter!

Wow! You might want to change hotels. That isn't very customer friendly. AB was there when I got out of the airport with my luggage. They had a van and picked up a couple of us. The guy even helped us with our luggage. We were not on the red-eye, but we were on the late AA flight coming in. If AB says they will pick you up, they will. No worries.

We were on the Continental redeye last month and although we didn't rent with AB, we saw their shuttle van picking up customers. It was very low hassle to take the shuttle to the car, no worries, you'll be fine.

I would tell you hotel to "get a life", I mean really. There was a shuttle there at the airport last time I flew in on the red eye.

I was there last week and rented from AB as I always do. After you come out from getting your bags, there are people standing there from most of the car rental places. Find AB and give them your name and they will point to where the van is (they just got a brand new one from when I arrived to when I left). If the van has already left for plaza to drop people off, it won't be long till they are back. The only drawback is that when you get to Plaza to their "current" location, it may take a little while waiting in line to get your vehicle. Since I was traveling alone it made it easier and was basically first in line so made it easy.

Thanks everyone. We figured it couldn't be that bad, but thought we would check anyway. As always, Bonaire Talk people come through with quick answers!

Upon your return you can check out the day before and just leave the vehicle at the airport.

I am not ignoring Boat Chick's question as to what hotel this is. I did send an email to her. We have stayed at this hotel many times and have always enjoyed our stay. They probably just haven't thought this whole new rental car location thing through.
