Coming off a cruise boat in Curacoa, the closest car rental agencies were booked and crowded. A very short walk brought me to the cool and quiet office of Smart Wheels. I was met by Judaily who was ve... See more

Very very slow.
It’s almost like they didn’t know how many cars they were going to be leasing out that morning because they did not have enough help to effectively process all the people that were there at the same time. We waited for an hour to get our car just because of the line and how long it was taking.
Great service great cars
Normally i dont post any reviews, but excellent service here. We hired 2 cars its next to the hotel and almost all brand new Kia cars. Even we delayed two hours later for the returning, they understood the issue and it was free of charge.
We were very happy with the service, car and price.
We were very happy with the service, car and price. Everything went smoothly. We highly recommend Smart Wheels. We are always nervous renting from a new and non-franchise company as there are horror stories about being overcharged or hidden charges after you leave the country but we were pleased this did not happen with Smart Wheels. We stayed in the Renaissance Creek, right next to Smart Wheels, so it was super convenient. We even extended our rental without any problems.

Convenient Location
Smart Wheels Car Rental is conveniently located at the cruise port, behind security gates, making it an easy access for shore excursions. The check-in process was smooth with a prior reservation. However, at check-in, the contracted fee agreed upon at booking ($50 for sandy or wet seats) was changed to $150 for sandy or wet seats. This wasn't agreed upon before booking, but it was required for check-in. While the vehicle mechanically worked fine, it wasn't cleaned/vacuumed before our booking, and a faulty seatbelt meant one passenger had to sit unbelted in the rear seat. Given the importance of "no sand or wet seats," it was ironic that the car was not in pristine condition before it was issued to a customer. I took multiple photos of the sand and faulty equipment beforehand, as did the check-in staff, to ensure we were not charged for damage or conditions that were not our fault. Given it was a busy day, we had to accept the vehicle as is anyway. That said, we had a blast on our shore excursion and had no issues whatsoever during our journey to and from the cruise port. Returning the vehicle was smooth and convenient. While we would likely use Smart Wheels again for its convenience of access of the cruise port, I wonder if there are other rental companies with better vehicles that would offer cruise port pick-up or delivery.
Easy pick up and return at Hato airport.

Very easy rental right from the cruise port! Instructions that were emailed were very clear and the office was easy to locate. You confirm the rental and they hand you they keys. Clean vehicle (Nissan versa) that had charging ports and Apple Car play. Definitely recommend if you are considering renting a car during your port day in Curacao!

Experience was good and proximity to ship was great for pickup and return. Would be helpful to provide a good local map or guidance on setting up vehicle navigation.

Car was clean and brought right to the cruise terminal for us. We tried our best not to get sand in it from beach hopping all day. We were told that it would cost us money if we got the seats wet. Overall a good experience and nice cars.
