Do you need a car on Curaçao?

A rental car is useful when you want to visit several beaches, explore beyond your accommodation or decide your own departure times. For days spent mainly in central Willemstad, walking combined with an occasional taxi can work well. Buses are another option when the route and timetable fit your plans.

You can also combine transport: rent a car for selected days, walk around the city and arrange a transfer when you prefer not to drive.

FAQ

Where should I stay in Curaçao without a rental car?

Start by looking at accommodation in or near Punda, Otrobanda or Pietermaai if you want restaurants and city sights within walking distance. Check the exact address and walking routes. For a beach-focused stay, look for direct beach access and arrange transport for other outings.

What is the cheapest way to get around Curaçao?

For a route served by a suitable bus connection, public transport is usually an inexpensive choice. Walking works for short city journeys. For several people or multiple stops, compare the total daily cost with a rental car, including insurance, fuel and parking.

Do tours include pickup from my accommodation?

Not automatically. Check the specific tour page for included pickup, optional transfers or a meeting point you must reach yourself. Confirm whether your accommodation is covered, any extra charge and the pickup time. Check that the return transfer is included too.
