Hello Gov,

How is it going?

Yes I like to rent at least for a few days mostly to buzz around to different beaches. Take pre dinner trip up to the CA lighthouse watch some big waves.
Maybe an early morning little cruise w/ coffee.
Prefer Suzuki Jimney 4WD cheaper than full size jeep but very good in the sand, a car would easily get stuck and would limit driving to roads only, kinda boring vs off road fun fun fun it is vacation.
Seriously check a few different beaches out only takes a few minutes to drive to.

Dec is early so it shouldn't be too crowded and easy to get the rental you want.

Have a lot of fun in Aruba!
