Getting Around Aruba
Aruba is easy to explore by car, taxi, or bus—but if you want the most freedom and flexibility, renting a car is the way to go. It’s the best option for discovering hidden beaches, natural pools, and off-the-beaten-path gems like Arikok National Park.
Driving here is a breeze: you drive on the right, there are no traffic lights, and the island is small and simple to navigate. Rental cars are easy to get right at the airport—most major companies are located just outside the arrivals area at Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA).
If you’re not driving, taxis are available but don’t use meters, so be sure to agree on the fare before you ride. Aruba’s public buses (Arubus) are reliable and budget-friendly, especially along the hotel strip.
