Looking to rent a 4 Wheel drive type vehicle (Jeep Wrangler if possible) and be able to add my 21 year old as a second driver. Does ANY car rental place in Aruba allow this? Not concerned with paying extra for insurance - etc. We have been going to Aruba off and on for 18 years and he finally wants to be able to drive a bit. Don't blame him....Any advice from anyone?
(Funny my 23 year old who is eligible - doesnt care and doesnt want to drive while in Aruba - go figure)

Oh let me add that we arrive at the end of next week! 4/24 and are timeshare owners.....

A Gazillion thank yous! That worked perfectly. I a little pricey but now my 23 and 21 year olds will be able to drive if they wish - GREAT. Less stress on us parents!

Next question - If you do not mind. The same car rental company rents cell phones and blackberry's. The biggest thing we need is the ability of one of my sons who is leaving his girlfriend behind to be able to TEXT MESSAGE her phone. Do you know the cheapest way to get unlimited text messaging to a uSA phone while in Aruba?

You are very welcome, that is why we are all here.

As to the phone, I'm not up on my texting, but two companies to check with:
