One idea to save some money is to rent a car for the week and the jeep for just one day. You should be able to cover the jeep territory in one day. We rented a car through Value and it was $180 for the week. I believe the Jeep was $375 for a week or $85 for a day.

Most places rent for: 1 day, 3 ay, and 7 days.

Here is the web site for Value Car Rental www.valuearuba.com

This will give you an idea of their rates. We have not used them in 4 years, so I cannot comment on them. We had good luck when we used them.

Rate was for 7 days. We didn't plan on renting a car until we got to our resort and found out that we can take a bus to grocery store but you need a taxi back and then the cost of a taxi or tour to some other sites it made alot of sense to just rent a car. When we talked to the bellman at our resort he called Value for us and they come pick you up right at your resort. Also since our flight left early they just had us drive the car to the airport and lock it up with the keys and parking stub under the floor mat. Very convenient.
