I will be in Bonaire in September, and I will be a single traveller. Just wondering if a compact SUV might be a viable alternative to renting a pick-up?

Paul there is only one problem with the SUV, where are you going to put the wet gear. That is the big reason for the small trucks. At home I transport the gear in a plastic tub.

We like the pickups but in the past have used the small "bread box" vans and twice we used cars, one a subcompact. We did not have any problems diving from any of them. The only problem was one time they would not let us in the National Park without a pickup. Of course, the pickups are easier to load equipment in.

Hey Paul, Cecil made a good statement on the insurance, My wife and I have always used a pickup both the small and the bigger ones, we used the toyota tundra last trip and I personally would recommend either. You most likely will pick up a buddy before the week is done if not 2 or 3 ! ! ! And the back of the truck can carry 4-6 tanks plus equipment. But at all cost get what you like and if you like SUV'S then go for it, It's all good in Bonaire !!! Have a great trip !!!Randy in Arkansas
