Tropic Rental or More 4 Less?

Hi,
After reading your very informative posts on car rental I am beginning to narrow this car rental thing down. I went to Tropic Rental's website and noticed that they have a special rate of $145 for the week for a Yaris. Is this the only car they rent? I also checked the website More 4 Less and looked at their jeep rentals which are $378 for a week. Is this a reasonable rate? Also, are there added fees like gas and insurance? I would rather have a jeep if possible but don't want to spend a ton of money because we plan on hanging at the beach and doing an ATV tour one day. We really will use it to go to dinner and restaurants quite a distance from our hotel. We are staying at the Surf Club and loved going to Madamme Jeanettes and Flying Fishbone. I have checked Thrifty and Budget as well and there rates on jeeps are higher. Are there any other realiable rental companies I should check out? Thanks so much and I look forward to your replies.

Tropic only has Yaris cars. I rented from More4Less in April and will be renting from them again this December.

The Yaris fits 4 adults with no problem and Hans is outstanding to work with.
The Yaris in the states is real tiny, it's comparable to a Corolla in Aruba

You cannot go wrong with either Hans/Tropic or More4Less, both are great.

tropic ALWAYS gets my vote
Hans , the owner, is the poster child for customer service.

personally i think, hans from tropic should go to Sloan school of management and give the students a lesson or 2 in business management and customer service.
