Why Honeymooners Love Having Their Own Car in Aruba
Aruba is one of the Caribbean's most romantic destinations, warm, sunny almost every day of the year, with white sand beaches and turquoise water that photographs like a dream. But much of the island's most romantic scenery is away from the resort strip, and reaching it independently transforms a good honeymoon into an extraordinary one.
With your own rental car you are never tied to a group tour schedule. You can leave for the beach before dawn to catch the sunrise in solitude, linger over lunch at a local roadside restaurant without a coach waiting, and find your own private corner of the island that no itinerary ever lists.
Taxis are reliable in Aruba but become expensive for spontaneous trips. A single taxi round-trip from Palm Beach to Baby Beach costs $40–$60. With a rental car, you make that drive, and five others, for the price of a tank of petrol.
Our Honeymoon Vehicle Recommendations
Jeep Wrangler: The Adventure Choice
The Jeep Wrangler with removable roof panels is the ultimate Aruba honeymoon car. Drive with the sky completely open above you, sunrise on the east coast, sunset at the California Lighthouse, the warm trade wind in your hair. Capable enough for the Natural Pool track, stylish enough for the resort valet.
With roof panels removed, you get an experience no other rental car on the island can match. The sense of openness and freedom is genuinely unforgettable.
View Jeep OptionsToyota Corolla: The Comfortable Choice
If you prefer air-conditioned comfort and a smooth, quiet ride, the Toyota Corolla is Aruba's most trusted sedan. Well-maintained, fuel-efficient, and surprisingly spacious, perfect for a couple with substantial luggage from the wedding. Easy to drive, easy to park, and impeccably reliable.
Pair with an evening dress and heels or shorts and flip flops. The Corolla suits every style of honeymoon, from beach casual to resort elegant.
View Sedan OptionsOur Favourite Romantic Routes
California Lighthouse Sunset
EveningDrive north to the iconic California Lighthouse and arrive about 30 minutes before sunset. Park on the elevated platform, drop the Jeep's roof panels, and watch the sun sink into the Caribbean Sea while the lighthouse glows in the fading light. There is no better moment on the island.
Eagle Beach Sunrise
Early MorningSet your alarm for 6am and drive to Eagle Beach before the resort crowds arrive. At sunrise, the famous fofoti trees are silhouetted against a pink and gold sky, the water is glassy and completely undisturbed. This is the image most people associate with Aruba, and you can have it to yourselves.
Baby Beach Seclusion
MiddayAt the far south-east tip of the island, Baby Beach is a protected lagoon with warm, shallow, impossibly clear water. It is less known to casual tourists because it requires a 40-minute drive from the resort area. That journey is exactly what makes it romantic, a secret only shared by those willing to explore.
Aruba's East Coast Drive
AfternoonThe windward east coast is completely different from the calm west, with dramatic crashing waves, rugged volcanic coastline, and almost no other visitors. Drive the coastal road from Andicuri to Boca Grandi with the windows down and the Atlantic spray in the air. It feels like the edge of the world.
Hotel Delivery & Surprise Package
We offer complimentary delivery to any hotel or resort on the island. For honeymooners, we go one step further. Tell us your arrival details and we will have the car waiting for you when you arrive, keys ready and tank full. No queuing at a rental desk, no paperwork to fill out after a long flight.
Ask us about our honeymoon surprise package when you enquire. With advance notice, we can arrange flowers, a handwritten welcome note, and a local island guide in the glovebox. It is our small way of celebrating the start of your married life together.
We have delivered cars to every major resort on the island, Bucuti & Tara, Manchebo Beach Resort, Hilton Aruba, Renaissance, Amsterdam Manor, and many more. If your accommodation is not on this list, do not worry. If there is a road, we will find it.
Honeymoon Rental FAQ
Can you deliver the car directly to our resort?
Absolutely. Hotel and resort delivery is our standard service for honeymoon couples. We bring the car to your accommodation, hand over the keys personally, and do a brief orientation so you feel immediately comfortable. Pickup at the end of your stay works the same way. We collect from wherever is most convenient.
Which car is best for a honeymoon in Aruba?
We recommend the Jeep Wrangler (soft top or hard top) for couples who want adventure and flexibility. Remove the roof panels and enjoy completely open-air driving, a genuinely unique experience. For those who prefer comfort and air conditioning, the Toyota Corolla or Hyundai Tucson are excellent choices with more boot space for luggage.
Can you decorate the car for our arrival?
Yes! Let us know in advance and we can arrange a simple welcome decoration, flowers on the dashboard, a congratulations card, or a bottle of champagne in a cool box. Please enquire via WhatsApp at least 48 hours before your arrival so we have time to arrange everything perfectly.
What about driving in Aruba, is it easy for first-timers?
Aruba drives on the right side of the road, the same as the USA and the Netherlands. Roads are generally well-maintained and well-signed. Traffic can be busy around Palm Beach and Oranjestad at peak times, but outside of those areas the island is very easy to navigate. Most honeymoon couples find it immediately relaxed and enjoyable.
Is there a discount for honeymoon bookings?
We do not advertise a specific honeymoon discount, but we offer genuinely competitive rates for all multi-day and weekly bookings. Ask us about our current weekly rates when you enquire. Couples staying 7 days get our best pricing automatically.
