Car rental and natural pool

[hmitchell_travelplanner]

Hello all,

We are heading to Aruba with our teenagers this coming summer and plan on renting either a jeep or a 4x4 truck so we can get out and show the kids the island for the first time. I know Yess will allow you to take their 4x4 vehicles to Conchi and through Arikok, but does anyone know about Royal? They price a little better for a 2 door jeep, but it won't be worth it if we can't get out and explore a bit.

I'd send them an email. We've dealt with Royal in the past and they are very accommodating.

Thanks, Walt. I will email them in the morning

If memory serves me correctly, all rental contracts state that you are not allowed to go to the natural pool but everyone does.

I believe that there is at least one rental agency that does not include that in their contract.
Forum member Leavethekidswithmom, (cool name huh?) when in Aruba, rent a vehicle that does not have that in the contract.

Me the worrier, drive so cautiously on the streets in Aruba with a sedan. One of the last things any of us need is to damage a vehicle that we are responsible for.

We have used Yes! Car Rental for a jeep and they allow their 4x4 vehicles to be driven to the natural pool. Keep in mind, your credit card insurance may not cover you and the insurance you can buy from the rental agency does not cover single car accidents, so if you do choose to go there, while it is allowed - you may have to pay out of pocket for any damage that occurs to the vehicle.
