Question
I am bringing a group of 16 to 24 people.  We are arriving by ship and when I was there before we rented jeeps and drove around the island by ourselves and really enjoyed it.  Quite a few of the people coming were on our last cruise to Aruba.  Can we pre-book four to six jeeps to assure all of us has one?  Would you please let me know of any rental agencies.

Answer
Hi Linda..Most rental companies prefer not to pre-book a large amount of vehicles at one time. This is due to not "shutting out" regular reservations. Howevr, you might want to call a few rental agencies, and reserve one, maybe two from each. Tropic Renta-Car seems to always get good reviews. There is also Thrifty, Dollar Rent-A-Car and Economy Car rental to name a few.
I would suggest going to www.aruba.com and go to the transportation links. There is e-mail info there, and you can inquire to see if they have rentals available. It's best to set everything up in advance.
Have a great trip!!
