The best all-round option for most visitors to Aruba. Hermanos combines competitive pricing (from $46/day), genuine local knowledge, hotel delivery, and 24/7 WhatsApp support in a way no competitor currently matches. The fleet covers every need from budget economy to off-road jeeps and family minivans. Transparent pricing with zero hidden fees sets them apart from both local and international competitors.
A well-established local competitor with a good reputation and strong online reviews. Slightly higher prices than Hermanos on most categories, and hotel delivery is not standard. Solid choice if Hermanos is fully booked during peak season.
As the name suggests, Value focuses on price. The cheapest advertised rates on the island, but watch for additional fees at pickup. Limited fleet and no hotel delivery. Best for budget travellers who only need a car for a day or two and are comfortable collecting from a fixed office.
International brand recognition and airport counter presence are the main advantages. However, prices are significantly higher, customer service goes through a call centre rather than a local team, and there are no flexible pickup options. Best for travellers who specifically need corporate billing or have loyalty points to use.
