NEWS CAR RENTAL CURACAO

In Curaçao, there are several key news and trends regarding car rental in 2025. 

After the shortages and high prices of 2022 and 2023, prices appear to have stabilized, although booking early is still recommended, especially during peak season. 

Key points for car rental in 2025: 

Prices: Although rental car prices dropped somewhat in the spring of 2024, they rose slightly again in May. Generally, rates are lower than during the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, when there was a significant shortage. However, prices can rise during peak season (December-January) and for popular models, such as automatics. 
Book early: It is strongly recommended to book a car well in advance, especially if you are traveling during peak season or want a specific type of car (e.g., an automatic). This prevents disappointment and helps you find a competitive price. 
Choice and competition: There's a wide selection of rental companies on the island, ranging from major international brands like Booking Cars, Enterprise, and Hertz to many local providers like First Class Car Rental and We Visit Curaçao. Local rental companies are often praised for their personalized service and potentially more competitive all-inclusive prices. 
Terms and conditions and insurance: 
Age: The minimum age for renting a car in Curaçao usually varies between 21 and 26 years old, depending on the rental company. Drivers under 23 often pay a surcharge.
