About Aruba Airport Car Rental, Food, Security, and Shopping

The Aruba Airport car rental services and food and shopping are top notch compared to any other airport I’ve been to in the Caribbean. You would never guess that there are over ten places to rent a car in Aruba right across from the terminal.

Security – Aeropuerto International Reina Beatrix takes painstaking efforts to ensure ease and accessibility along every step. With only eight gates, it’s not hard to find where you’re going. You still need to follow the international security rules, but the sheer size of the airport makes navigation so much easier.

Shopping – All the usual option in duty-free shopping offered in personalized and friendly airport boutiques. This makes last minute shopping a lot of fun. You can find liquor, tobacco, cosmetics, sunglasses, and souvenirs all located on the ground floor near check-in and security.

Food and Beverages – There are several locations scattered throughout the airport that have hot food and vending machines.

Internet – Wi-Fi connectivity is available throughout the entire airport. Pick up a wireless card at the kiosk.

Car rental – The Aruba airport has ten car rentals located across from the ground floor terminal. The prices are competitive. It’s been my experience that the locally ran companies are much more helpful and courteous.

Beatrix Airport has been around since 1925. It’s gone through a series of continual improvements and renovations to get to the most recent renovation in 2005. Just like the rest of Aruba, the airport offers top-notch service and accessibility. You’ll be happy to know that the security process is smooth and hassle free.

When you arrive simply go to the ground floor, pick up your baggage, and find your Aruba airport car rental kiosk across from the terminals. Hop in your car and take a nice drive along the arid desert roads (yes, there is desert terrain here!) until you reach your resort.
