Crew Cab Pickup in Bonaire?

[Rainer]

The one and only trip I've taken to Bonaire was with one other person and we rented a small pickup that just fit us and a bed full of cylinders. Headd back to Bonaire in May and we might be 3-4 people this time. Never did look closely at the other vehicles, but is it possible to rent a crew cab (4-door) pickup on the island? If so, who is my best bet and what price would I be looking at? I'd earlier gotten recommendations to look at using Telerin, but I honestly just need something reliable. Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

I have only been twice, most recently two years ago, and I don't recall seeing any that were not 4 door crew cabs, although not at all comparable in size to my F150.

ab carrental has 4 doors AB Car Rental Bonaire - Our Rental Cars They might be one of the lower priced options.

We rented from Budget at the airport and the truck was a Toyota double cab:

That's what we had.

Not staying at a resort, so need to source the truck ourselves. I'll check out Budget, AB, and Telerin. Any other suggestions? I've heard prices are around $400/week with insurance. Does that sound about right?

AB has 2 or 4 door pickups. Not a major cost saving either way. And yes, $400 or so for the week with the full insurance.

If AB turns out to be cheaper, they also have an airport pick-up/drop-off option.

All AB Car Rental customers benefit from our Free Taxi and Luggage Service between Bonaire International Airport and the close by AB Car Rental office. If you've reserved your rental car before arrival on Bonaire, a taxi driver will be waiting for you at the Airport with a nameplate (with your name). This taxi driver will help you with your luggage and take you to the nearby AB Car Rental office free of charge.

It is also possible to give us a call at +599 717 8980 and we will pick you up from the Airport or your accommodation. When returning your rental car at the AB Car Rental office after your vacation, we will take you back to the Airport at your convenience.

Great info, thanks. Do you happen to know if any of the other car rental places offer a similar *free* service? If not, any idea about taxi costs?
