Lobstaroll,

We have used most of the car rentals over the years. Using Yes car rental this year. Significantly less money. They are not at the airport. They pick you up and take you to there place to do paperwork.

You can rent a phone just as you walk out of the customs area in Aruba to the left. Have never rented one. We use Skype when we are down as most placed have wireless and Skype is cheap and easy on a laptop or smart phone with it turned to airplane mode and wireless turned on.

Hope you see this prior to leaving. Have a great trip.
