young driver car rental question

Hello fellow Arubans and tourists,

our son is coming to Aruba in ten days with his girlfriend. The problem is he is 21 and majority of the car rentals start renting from 23 and older.
Last year friend of ours rented a car for him but he is (friend) back to Holland now...

Maybe some of you know the agency that rent the cars for the younger crowd.

He is very quiet and reasonable guy, just likes to spend all day outdoor. He will be staying in the residential area and will need a vechile to get to the beach and to the supermarkets area.

Any help/tips/advise is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Peter.

my son has been in the same situation that yours is in.

there are no places that will rent to a driver under age 23 and a few of them have the age set at 25.

cindy is correct in stating that he may have to depend on a cab.

You can try to use ruba car rental. I've rented from them when I was 22.
www.rubarent-aruba.com

If that doesn't work out you'll be better of using the bus or autobus instead of taxi's. They are way cheaper and will get you to where you want to go.
