I was able to secure a vehicle for approximately $120 for four days.Serenity Tip: If you don't have an available credit card, don't panic. Ask the concierge about reputable local rental companies and alternative transportation options.

Serenity's Tip #1&nbsp;BEFORE YOU ARRIVE 🌴A Few Things I Learned So Your Arrival Can Be Smoother Than MineMy first 24 hours in Aruba taught me a few things that I definitely want every Serenity Escape guest to know ahead of time. Aruba has been beautiful and the people have been incredibly helpful, but being financially and logistically prepared makes a BIG difference.✈️ 1. Be Prepared for a Resort DepositEven when your accommodations are already reserved or paid for, the resort may require an incidental/security deposit at check-in.In my case, the expected deposit was $538—something I wasn’t anticipating.Serenity Tip: Before traveling, confirm:The exact resort deposit amount Whether it is a hold or an actual charge What forms of payment are accepted Whether the physical card must be present When the hold/deposit is released Do not assume that a prepaid room means no additional funds will be required at check-in.
