Renting a Car in Curaçao: Everything You Need to Know Before You Land

Why Rent a Car in Curaçao?

Curaçao may be a small island, but it’s packed with stunning beaches, colorful towns, and hidden gems that are best reached by car. Public transportation is limited, and taxis can add up quickly — so renting a car gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace. Whether you’re staying in Jan Thiel or Banda Abou, having a car means you can enjoy the island stress-free.

Who Can Rent a Car?

To rent a car in Curaçao, you typically need to be:

  • At least 23 years old
  • In possession of a valid driver’s license (held for at least 2 years)
  • An international driver’s license is helpful but not mandatory unless your license uses non-Latin characters

At Autoverhuren Estanista BV, we make this process easy and we’ll even help guide you through it via WhatsApp.

What Do You Need to Bring?

For a smooth pick-up, bring the following:

  • Your passport or valid ID
  • Your driver’s license
  • A credit card or cash for payment and deposit
  • Your booking confirmation (print or digital)

How Much Does It Cost?

Car rental prices in Curaçao vary by model and season. Here’s a general idea:

  • Compact cars (e.g., Kia Picanto): from $35/day
  • SUVs (e.g., Ford Explorer, Kia Sportage): from $55–$70/day
  • 4×4 (Suzuki Jimny): from $60/day

💡 Pro Tip: We offer free airport pickup and child seats on request.
