Payless Car Rental at Oranjestad, Aruba, is a car rental service located at L.G. Smith Boulevard 330, Kiosk 1, near Queen Beatrix International Airport. It offers a range of vehicles for tourists looking to explore the island independently, from compact cars to SUVs. The kiosk is conveniently situated for arrivals, making it easy to pick up a car upon landing. However, customer feedback consistently highlights significant issues, including long wait times, hidden fees, poor vehicle condition, and unhelpful staff. Many travelers report being charged for damage they did not cause or facing unexpected charges at return. The low rating reflects a pattern of dissatisfaction, so potential renters should exercise caution. Despite these drawbacks, the location is practical for those who need immediate transport, but thorough documentation of the vehicle's condition and careful reading of the rental agreement are strongly advised.
