You have plenty of time. If you are just going to Baby Beach why rent a
Jeep? Rent a car. The road is good to that beach, you don't need a Jeep
and a car is air conditioned. The rental places are right at the pier
and it is very easy. The process is like any car rental place. I don't
know the current price as it was five years ago that I rented a car.
You can check online, we used Avis, but there are four or five other
companies that rent from the pier.

Here is a tip to avoiding all the rental car desks and crowds. Inside
the ship terminal is an information desk. It is located right next to
the door to exit the terminal building. We asked right there about
renting a jeep. She made the phone call and set it all up for us. Then
we walked to the office just beyond the all the other jeep rental desks
and the jeep was waiting for us. It took less than 5 mins from the
terminal to being on the road. Have fun. Jeep rentals run about $70
for the day.
