About Renting a Car at Palm Beach Center

Palm Beach center is the heart of Aruba's tourist life, located along the white sandy beach with shopping, restaurants, and entertainment within walking distance. With a rental car from one of the 3 providers here you can reach Eagle Beach in 5 minutes and the capital Oranjestad in approximately 15 minutes' drive south. Perfect starting point for exploring the entire island on your own.

Palm Beach center is located along L.G. Smith Boulevard, surrounded by hotels such as Marriott and RIU. The natural pools at Arikok National Park are reached in 25 minutes east via Highway 4A, and California Lighthouse is just 10 minutes north.

Book a rental car in advance during the high season December–April when availability is limited. Choose a small 4WD to reach Aruba's unpaved north coast and the caves at Ayo Rock Formations. Parking along Palm Beach Boulevard is free but limited – the hotels' parking lots are a better option.

How far is it from Palm Beach center to Oranjestad? It's approximately 8 km and takes about 15 minutes south along L.G. Smith Boulevard.

Do I need a special driving license to rent a car on Aruba? A Swedish driving license is valid on Aruba. You must have held the license for at least one year and be at least 21 years old with most providers.

Can I drive to Arikok National Park with a standard rental car? Some roads within the national park are gravel roads, so a 4WD is recommended to reach the most remote areas such as Conchi natural pool.

We compare prices from all major providers at Palm Beach Center so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
