Car Rental Near Eagle Beach, Aruba
Eagle Beach is Aruba's wide, quiet stretch of world-class sand and the home of the famous fofoti trees. We deliver your rental car straight to your low-rise resort, so you can swim in the morning and be exploring the island by lunch.
Free Delivery to Every Low-Rise Resort
Eagle Beach is the heart of Aruba's low-rise hotel strip, the calmer sister to the Palm Beach high-rises just up the coast. The resorts here sit right on the sand, and parking is straightforward, which makes a rental car easy to live with.
Tell us your hotel and a time when you book, and one of our team meets you at reception with the car fuelled, cleaned, and inspected. There is no delivery charge, and we collect it from the same spot at the end of your stay.

Why Eagle Beach Is a Great Base
Eagle Beach is regularly voted one of the best beaches in the world, and for good reason. The sand is soft and blindingly white, the strip is far wider than Palm Beach, and even in high season you can find your own patch of shade. Because the resorts stay low and spread out, the whole area feels relaxed. It is also closer to Oranjestad than Palm Beach, so a supermarket run, a dinner in town, or a day trip south is quick and simple with your own car.
Eagle Beach itself
Wide, uncrowded white sand consistently ranked among the world's best beaches. There is far more room to spread out here than on Palm Beach, and the water is calm and shallow.
The fofoti trees
The two wind-bent fofoti (divi-divi) trees on the sand are the most photographed spot in Aruba. Come at sunrise for the light and to have them to yourself.
Low-rise dining
Casual beachfront restaurants and bars line the strip, from the Passions on the Beach tables set in the sand to relaxed lunch spots inside the resorts.
Arashi & the north tip
A short drive north takes you to Arashi Beach and the California Lighthouse, both worth an afternoon with the car you already have.
An economy car handles Eagle Beach and the paved coast with ease. Planning to reach the wild north shore or the tracks inside Arashi and beyond? A Jeep or 4x4 is the smarter choice. See the whole range on the fleet page.

Eagle Beach Car Rental FAQs
Honest answers to the questions guests ask us most.
Do you deliver rental cars to Eagle Beach hotels for free?
Yes. Delivery and collection at any Eagle Beach low-rise resort or apartment is free of charge. Tell us your hotel and preferred time when you book on WhatsApp, and we meet you at reception with the car fuelled and inspected.
Is Eagle Beach or Palm Beach better for a car rental base?
Eagle Beach is quieter, wider, and closer to Oranjestad, so it is an easy base for exploring. The low-rise resorts also tend to have simpler parking than the Palm Beach high-rises. Both areas get the same free delivery from us.
What car do I need for Eagle Beach and around the island?
For the beach itself and the paved roads to Oranjestad and Palm Beach, an economy car from $46/day is plenty. If you plan to reach the Natural Pool or the rough tracks in Arikok, choose a Jeep or 4x4 instead.
Is there parking at Eagle Beach?
Yes. There are free public parking areas along the beach road and at most low-rise resorts. Arrive before 10am in high season to get a shaded spot near the fofoti trees.
How far is Eagle Beach from the airport?
Queen Beatrix Airport is about 9 km away, roughly a 13 minute drive. We can also have your car waiting at the airport instead of your hotel if you prefer to drive straight from arrivals.
What is included in the rental price?
Every rental includes insurance, unlimited kilometres, free airport pickup, and free hotel delivery, with no hidden fees. You book by WhatsApp or email, and pay on collection.
