Group & Large Vehicle Rental in Aruba

Group travel in Aruba is one of life's genuine pleasures. The island is compact, the roads are excellent, and there is enough variety, beaches, national park, historic sites, local restaurants, to keep a group of eight entertained for a full week without anyone running out of ideas. The one challenge that groups face is transport: taxis for eight people are expensive and logistically complicated, while splitting into two smaller rental cars means the group is constantly dividing and regrouping.

The solution is straightforward: one large vehicle that keeps everybody together. Hermanos Car Rental offers the Ford Tourneo Custom, one of the finest large group vehicles in the world, as our flagship group rental in Aruba.

Ford Tourneo Custom: 8 Seats, $124/day

The Ford Tourneo Custom is not a basic minibus, it is a fully fitted people carrier with individual seats, air conditioning throughout the cabin (including dedicated rear vents for third-row passengers), Bluetooth audio with multiple USB charging points, and a sliding rear door for easy access. All eight seats have three-point seatbelts, a requirement for families travelling with children.

Boot space is generous even with all seats occupied. With the third row folded (reducing capacity to five passengers), the Tourneo becomes a practicularly capable luggage carrier, useful for airport transfers with multiple large suitcases. The front passenger seat swivels to face the rear for group discussions or meals, a feature that parent groups with young children particularly appreciate on longer day trips around the island.

The Tourneo's turbodiesel engine provides strong, effortless performance at all speeds. Its tall-sided body is not designed for off-road tracks, so if your group wants to visit the Natural Pool, we recommend combining the Tourneo with one of our Jeep rentals, one vehicle for the main group, one capable off-roader for the adventure segment of the trip.

Is One Large Vehicle Cheaper Than Two Small Ones?

For groups of six to eight people, a single Ford Tourneo at $124/day is almost always better value than two separate vehicles. Consider: two economy cars at $46/day each costs $92/day and still only seats eight if both cars are completely full with no luggage, an impractical scenario. Two sedans at $59/day each costs $118/day, with less total interior and boot space than the Tourneo. The Tourneo's $124 per day becomes even more attractive when you factor in that one driver's licence, one fuel bill, and one parking space are required instead of two.

For groups of nine or more, we recommend contacting us directly for a customised quote. We can arrange multiple large vehicles with coordinated pickup and drop-off times, and we have experience handling group bookings for weddings, corporate retreats, and extended family holidays in Aruba.

Best Group Activities in Aruba

With eight people in one vehicle, the logistics of group days out become dramatically simpler. Here are the activities that work best for groups in Aruba:

• Baby Beach: the calm, shallow lagoon at Aruba's southern tip is perfect for groups with mixed swimming ability. The Tourneo parks easily in the beachfront car park.
• Arikok National Park: the park visitor centre has ample coach and group parking. Explore the cave paintings, native wildlife trail, and sea views from the park's plateau.
• Oranjestad food tour: park in the central car park near the marina and walk the main street as a group, stopping at the local pastechi stalls, the fish market, and the Wilhelmina Park restaurant strip.
• Eagle Beach day: rated one of the Caribbean's finest beaches. The central car park holds the Tourneo easily and the beachfront is wide enough for the whole group to find space.
• Donkey Sanctuary: one of Aruba's most charming attractions is free to visit and accommodates large groups easily.
• Butterfly Farm: a short guided tour that children and adults both enjoy. Groups can pre-book to avoid the midday queue.

Group Rental Tips

• Book as early as possible, the Tourneo is our most popular large vehicle and availability during peak season (December–April) is limited.
• Designate a primary driver before arrival. Additional drivers can be added to the rental agreement at no extra charge.
• For airport transfers, arrange for the Tourneo to collect the whole group once all flights have landed rather than making multiple trips.
• Child seats must be booked in advance, we carry infant, toddler, and booster seats. Specify ages at time of booking.
• Fuel costs can be split easily between group members, fuel in Aruba is sold at government-regulated prices with no volatility.
