SEE IF YOUR DATES ARE FLEXIBLE!

When I first tried earlier around 7 pm, my first set of dates came up full price. I put in a day later for 7 nights instead of 8 and it came up with a $35 compact or $57.50 mini-van.

FWIW, I have only seen those two rates for compact or mini-van. <<-- nothing in between...

After we booked I walked away from the computer and dh adjusted the reservation and picked up an additional 3 days.

Okay here is another quirk...

I just put in our "sale" dates for Paseo Harencia pick up and came up with the cheapest vehicle $140+ tax, no bargain.

I went back and modified it for pick up at their main office Oranjestad (Schotlandstraat) and voilą, the $35 compact or $57.50 mini-van prices both came up.

It is actually working again. My co-worker just rented a mini van for next month (for the music festival). His price was $102.00 for the week which includes all taxes.

where do you pick up a vehicle that states location general aviation sounds like the airport but it is a far walk not sure becuase the cars on the airport lot are being rented out at the regular rate.

It will be their location at the airport. I am not sure if you have been to the island previously. When you walk outside the front door of the airport terminal you will walk across a 2 small roadways and there are a line of offices directly in front of you.
