Hotel delivery is a key reason to book a Palm Beach pickup. Instead of arranging a taxi from the airport, the rental company brings the car to your hotel lobby. You complete the paperwork there, collect the keys and start driving. Return works the same way: you hand back the car at your hotel before your departure transfer.

If your hotel is outside these areas, check car rental Oranjestad for downtown delivery options. Some travelers prefer to pick up at the airport immediately after landing. You can then drop off before check-in, avoiding a wait for a delivery slot.
Parking along a yellow line is prohibited in Aruba. Parking on a bridge or on a road with a continuous middle line is also prohibited. Beach roads usually have white lines or no lines, so you can park where the curb allows. Oranjestad has parking meters, but the Palm Beach and Eagle Beach hotel strips do not.
Hotels often provide guest parking, either in a lot or under the building. Check with your hotel before you book a car: some charge a daily fee, others include it. If your hotel has no parking, look for a public lot nearby. You can also park on a side street that permits it.
Eagle Beach is wider and less built up than Palm Beach. Finding a street spot near the sand is usually easier there. Avoid blocking driveways or access roads. For day trips away from the beaches, see driving in Aruba for speed limits and right-of-way rules.
