TRANSPORT FIRST
Do not book first and solve transport later.
Before paying, know how you will reach the activity and return. Depending on where you stay, that may mean walking, arranging a taxi, using provider transport when offered, or choosing a different experience.
Tip: use the meeting location on the individual experience page as part of your decision, not just the activity itself.
QUICK ANSWER · LAST REVIEWED 3 OCTOBER 2026
Do you need a rental car in Curaçao?
Not necessarily. Curaçao’s official tourism guidance says a car is the easiest way to get around because beaches and attractions are spread across the island. Public transport includes large Konvoi buses and smaller vans, while taxis are widely available and government-regulated. The Curaçao Tourist Board also states that Uber- or Lyft-style ride-sharing services are not available on the island.
