That is a very high quote for such a short distance. If you have been to Aruba before you will notice that the Dvi is a short distance to town. The civil house is located right in the town behind the main street. The large hummer is a new mode of transportation in Aruba and I believe is owned by a car rental company. For those of you that do not know, bringing automobiles into Aruba receive high import taxes. Most likly that is the reason that you received a high quote. There are small bus companies that hold up to 26 persons, are air conditioned, comfortable and charge by the distance from point A to point B. I could see the higher rate being charged to drive round trip to the civil house from Palm beach area (Marriott, Holiday Inn, Hyatt, Occidental Grand, but not from the Divi. The hummer is lovely idea and sure your guests would be impressed. However, if it is not in your budget, I am sure if you looked further, you would find a nice mode of transportation that will be affordable.
