Four of Bonaire’s Vehicle Rental Agencies Open New Airport Rental Center

Effective immediately, a new Airport Rental Center has opened up just opposite the main terminal exit/entrance of Bonaire’s Flamingo Airport.  Currently, four of Bonaire’s vehicle rental companies have relocated their offices to this location, so vehicle pick ups and drop offs will now be handled at the new location.

The four companies who have relocated are:  AB Car Rental, Total Car Rental, Island Car Rental, and Top Drive Car Rental.  Together, they command a fleet of nearly 500 rental vehicles of all types and prices.  To locate the new center, once you exit the terminal (facing outward), look straight forward and toward your right.  (Or simply follow the foot prints on the image above).

The Airport Rental Center offers additional advantages with its spacious and air-conditioned indoor offices, having four of Bonaire’s rental agencies under one roof and within walking distance from the airport, and a welcoming bar where those tired from traveling can enjoy a cold drink or snack while awaiting their vehicle.  Additionally, the Airport Rental Center offers a new location for Harbourtown Real Estate, which offers interested visitors or residents information on the current real estate market on Bonaire, as well as showcasing current homes and businesses which are available for sale.
