FYI, if you have a American Express credit card they have a extra called "Rental Car Premium Insurance" and if you rent a car pretty much any where in the world and use the Amex Card it automatically charges your card a one time fee of $20.00 for the rental period which is alot cheaper than the daily rate by the rental cars on the island!

Also checked the fine print to insure Aruba was covered: "Coverage is worldwide except vehicles rented in Australia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, and New Zealand. Enrollment is available to Consumer and Small Business Cardmembers residing in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Corporate Cardmembers are not eligible."
