Quick, easy, good value.

Rented the automatic truck with cooler/chair add on. Truck was great up at Washington National Park. Check in and out was quick and easy with a friendly staff. Pickup at airport to get the truck was on time. Drop off was super quick and easy.

Experiencing Mauritius by car

ABC rental brought the car to my hotel in Belle Mare. Great service, fast and detailed explanations. The car was in a great state, very tidy and it was a pleasure to cruise for 10 days over the island.

The worst vacation of my life thanks to AB Rental Car.
Half a day before my trip, they told me "WE DON'T HAVE CARS," leaving me stranded with my wife and baby at 6:00 PM with no options. In a city I don’t know and with a planned vacation ruined, I am emotionally disappointed by making the mistake of trusting this company. I will never use this provider again.
To make matters worse, I had already paid for the full rental in advance and they still haven't refunded my money. It has been 20 days and I am still waiting. This is unbelievable and completely unprofessional. Never use AB Rental Car. (April 2026)

Very organized, good pick up from the airport 2 min drive to a car rental. All speedy arranged. Awesome BYD electric car. Drives great on the island! Soon as battery is low (25 procent) you swap the car for a new full and clean one. Awsome!
Very happy costumer;-)

CONSISTENT, QUALITY and FRIENDLY AB-CARRENTAL

CONSISTENT, QUALITY & FRIENDLY service. After renting rusty junk from other operations and dive resorts, I noticed the "cleaner" ABCARRENTAL trucks at the dive sites and in town. I/we began using the and never looked back. Their reservations and front office team are always accurate and friendly. Buy the full coverage insurance...no hassle. A very happy customer for over 6 years.

AB Dive and Drive #1

Fourth time vacationing with AB Car/Dive utilizing the Dive and Drive package...still extremely satisfied! Staff at both places are eager to help, friendly to talk to and quick to answer any questions. First time taking advantage of the Airport drop off...worth the three minute walk from the truck to departure gate.
Definitely/Highly recommend AB Car Rental and AB Dive to all Bonaire visitors!!

Thanks guys for making our vacation that much more relaxing!!

Exceptional Experience with AB Car…

Exceptional Experience with AB Car Rental in Bonaire

I recently rented a vehicle from AB Car Rental in Bonaire, and the entire experience was outstanding. From start to finish, their service was professional, efficient, and customer-focused.

Booking & Communication: The online reservation process was seamless, with clear pricing and no hidden fees. Leading up to my arrival, their communication was prompt and helpful, ensuring I had all the necessary details.

Pickup & Vehicle Quality: Upon arrival, the check-in process was quick and hassle-free. The staff was friendly and provided a thorough explanation of the rental terms and driving conditions in Bonaire. The vehicle was in excellent condition—clean, well-maintained, and perfect for exploring the island, including the rugged roads leading to dive sites and scenic spots.

Customer Service: What truly stood out was their commitment to customer satisfaction. The team was knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and even provided local tips to enhance my trip. Returning the car was just as smooth, with a quick inspection and no unexpected charges.

Overall Experience: AB Car Rental is a top-tier choice in Bonaire. Their reliability, competitive pricing, and exceptional service make them a standout option for anyone visiting the island. I highly recommend them and will definitely rent from them again on my next trip!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – 5/5 Highly Recommended!

Extremely good service

Extremely good service, picked up at the airport after a late arrival and dropped off at the airport when we departed.
Excellent rental truck, very economical on fuel and perfect for snorkelling equipment (or diving).
Would strongly recommend using this company.

Very helpful company

Very helpful company, met us at the airport although out of office hours. We took out the extra indemnity which was worthwhile as we had a blow-out on the rough roads of the national park. Tyre changed, no cost, no hassle. Transfer back to the airport in good time. Good price in comparison with other companies. A very good experience, would use AB again.

AB is Top Notch!

Waiting for us at the airport. Quick transfer over to AB office and fast turnaround once there. Nice truck with no issues. AB is the best on the island. Will use them again in the future.

Good organized car rental

Good organized car rental with pick-up and dropp-off at the airport.
Modern cars which allow you also to visit the national park, where a certain free space under the car is mandatory.

Awesome time with AB

We have been to Bonaire many times and have always used AB. Their trucks are perfect for diving and ever since they started the dive shop we use that service as well. All the staff are super friendly. The dive staff was exceptional (helped us locate a couple of great lesser known dive sites).They pick you up and drop you off at the airport very convenient. We had an issue with the taillight (backed into post) and because of our no deductible full coverage it was replaced immediately. We will be back to Bonaire and will definitely use AB again

Car not ready for pickup at the airport. Next morning I was able to collect it. They have new cars on display at the website on on their premises, but I got a 15 yrs old dirty car.

Reply from AB Car Rental

Dear Hugo,

Thank you for reaching out. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced regarding the delayed pickup of your car at the airport.

Your flight arrived outside our office hours, and as a standard practice, we only provide cars outside office hours with a full insurance package, not just the liability insurance (WA). With a full insurance package, you benefit from a $0.00 deductible and deposit. Since you opted for the WA insurance, we require the deposit to be paid at our office before releasing the car. This is the reason you were unable to collect the car immediately.

Regarding the age and condition of the car, our oldest vehicles are 6 years old, and they are scheduled to be replaced this year. The challenging conditions on the island, particularly the impact of divers, can contribute to the appearance of wear on the vehicles, potentially giving the impression of them being older.

We highly recommend opting for the full insurance package in the future, ensuring immediate car pickup with no deductible or deposit, at just $8 per day.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding.
