I rented from Royal several years ago-They did a "Bait & Switch" I was promised a new car- ended up with a real junk. No other cars were available since it was mid February. Never Again...

Anyways, I do not recommend you renting Jeep Wrangler, because there are better 4x4 you can rent in Aruba.
Why would you not get a Jeep Wrangler again? Which 4x4 do you suggest?

Thanks.

Aruba Dre,
I also rented from Top Drive and would never do it again. They try to get you for damages to the car that was already there. I had a rental car business of my own for awhile and I know all the little secrets of trying to get more money from the renter. I think they run a shady operation.
If you can, try to go with Tropic if you can or Optima. They are good companies to do business with, or you can follow the advice of others on this board who have had good car rental experiences.
No matter what, have a great trip and enjoy...

Kenmichelle,

It's a matter of preference. I checked different car rental companies web sites and they offer different 4x4 vehicles.
