How to choose the right pickup and drop-off points

  1. Match to your arrival. Flying into Oranjestad? The airport location puts you behind the wheel from the terminal building.
  2. Stay close to your hotel. If you’re based in Noord, the Hilton resort lobby location is walking distance for many guests. Around the hotel strip? Palm Beach keeps you nearby.
  3. Consider opening hours. Palm Beach operates 9AM–3PM; for all locations, please check opening hours before you make your reservation.
  4. Plan your last day. Return the car where it saves you time—airport for departures or Palm Beach/Hilton/Main Office if you’re lingering by the resort area.
  5. Think about your route. If you’re heading to beaches and attractions along J.E. Irausquin Blvd, picking up there reduces backtracking.
  6. Leverage one-way returns. Use the “Return vehicle to a different location” option to keep your schedule flexible.
