What the displayed prices mean
Our Standard and VIP prices are proposed USD planning rates per private vehicle, one way. They are not instant availability, government taxi tariffs or measured island-wide averages. The quote must confirm the actual vehicle, passengers, bags, requested seats, date, waiting and full amount including applicable charges.
Published private-transfer observations
Aqua Lux advertises one-way transport starting at USD 60, varying by location and people. 4Play lists USD 60 downtown, USD 70 for its Divi/Amsterdam Manor grouping and USD 80 for its Palm Beach/Secrets grouping, based on four passengers with additional passenger charges. De Palm publishes USD 230 for a private luxury round trip for up to four passengers, equivalent to USD 115 per leg when divided by two. Super Limo’s rate page lists USD 125 one way for a BMW-class sedan and USD 190 for a Navigator-class SUV. These are different products and capacities; their simple arithmetic midpoint would not be a reliable market average.

How we selected our planning rates
The simple midpoint of the USD 60 entry offer and USD 80 Palm Beach observation is USD 70; USD 60 and the USD 70 low-rise observation give USD 65. These small, non-equivalent samples inform our Palm Beach and Eagle Beach baselines; they are not statistically representative averages. Capacity and extras must be re-quoted for your party. Short airport and city journeys have lower proposed rates; longer northern and southeast journeys have higher allowances. VIP estimates sit within the observed luxury price envelope. These zone adjustments are editorial estimates, not independently observed fares for every route. Round trips combine two legs on the same route; extra stops and changed hotels need a new quote.
Taxi fares are regulated separately
Aruba Airport Authority identifies taxi.aw as the current government source. Its calculator includes the trip’s applicable supplements. Use it for the exact route and travel details; old PDFs, search snippets and our private estimates do not replace it.

Geography, distances and hotel references
Hotel sources come from the Aruba Tourism Authority directory and linked accommodation websites. Hotel names identify destinations, not partnerships. Kilometres and drive-time ranges are approximate planning estimates from AUA, not live traffic measurements. The property entrance, access road, bags and arrival formalities can change the total elapsed time.

The AUA Airport Transfer editorial team writes practical booking guidance; we do not invent licences, fleet ownership, reviews, hotel affiliations or official airport status.
