Hi Folks,
Just want to share our experience with Avis. We arrived in Aruba April 3. Had were quoted $600. because we needed a minivan, but when we got there they told us that had none. They didnt even have cars. Sent us to an offsite place - Smart Rent - which gave us a really beat up, high mileage car which did not feel safe. THe car didnt even have "V" license plates for Visitors - it had A plate - for residents. We brought it back the next day and got a car from Avis, when they finally got one in.
I dont know if there is much you can do to avoid this, unfortunately. YOu are at the mercy of the car rental companies. It's a shame.
