Tour or Rent Car?

We will be in Curacao from 8am-5pm. Trying to decide about renting a car and driving around on our own. The few post I have read about renting is they are more expensive to rent at the port and they may not even have a car.

So do they have taxis that will take you around the island or tour companies when you get off the ship that are reasonable in price? I don't find any interesting tours from the ship we would be interested in doing. So looking for other options.

Don't know if anyone has any "current" prices for renting a car or any of the "local" tour prices.

For a sightseeing tour you can count on $20 - $25 an hour.

Easy to find drivers at the port, but the better drivers get booked in advance.

You have great port hours, so renting a car will be cheaper and will give you more flexibility.

Thanks sounds good. Want to stay flexible at this port.

We rented last March and it was the best decision. We drove to Playa Lagun - very easy to find and drive. We also stopped at the grocery store on the way to get a case of Amstel Light for the beach (drinking on the beach is legal). I rented a van and 10 of us went.

Playa Lagun was awesome- well worth the money. Great snorkeling from the beach.
